Merino wool hand woven vest and coat made in Maine

Image
I made this fabric for this coat out of Merino wool with Mother of pearl buttons  I used the same fabric to make a vest with Viking pewter buttons the fabric inside is a tartan ( see below) Hand woven cotton fabric in the Young Clan tartan  Is amazing looking inside the vest  This past winter I have been weaving wool fabric for clothing . I used an 20/2 worsted wool warp yarn from M BRASSARD  with JAGGERSPUN 8/3 merino 100% wool in Charcoal Gray  The cotton was an 8/2 yarn from M BRASSARD  set at 20 ends per inch  www.mainevillageweaver.com  Instagram  Maine_village_weaver  Maine Village Weaver
