Yes, wool! Most lace weave fabrics are woven in linen, cotton or a mix of them both, but it's equally beautiful in wool for soft draped scarves, striking cushions, blankets, etc. Don't let your pre-conceived ideas prevent you from having a go at weaving them in wool, the UK's most versatile fibres. The course is designed so that every student will pre-warp their own loom in one of the structures and in the workshop will share their looms with each other, in a "round robin", so that everyone goes home with swatches in each structure, some in cotton and some in wool.
Below are two shawls I was commissioned to make a few years ago, in Huck Lace. Both are hand woven in silk and cashmere.
