Hand-woven mosaic of Noro Silk Garden yarn

Have just finished weaving a 4m bolt of  fabric in a mosaic pattern using three different colours of Noro Silk Garden yarns as the weft, on a hand-dyed aster coloured silk warp.  It was time consuming to weave as it has two or three different yarns on each weft.  In fact, more like a tapestry than a weave.
The off the loom piece is 4130mm x 50mm so will be slightly smaller after washing.
A garment is to be made from this fabric in readiness for the Perth Upmarket on Sunday 3 March at UWA.
