a natural fabric, this weave has irregularities,
slubs and twists in the warp and weft.
all contribute to its beauty and character.

inspired by magpie tales

Never thought of silk that way. Good one.

Powerful economy of language here. The metaphor of silk definitely captures the intended mood.... I think anyway. I love it.
