Bamboo and mericerized cotton handwoven shawl

Off the loom recently, this handwoven shawl in mercerized cotton and bamboo. The circles are green on one side, black on the other creating a fascinating visual effect. The bamboo is very soft and produces a nice hand to the textile. I've been exploring this weave structure for the last several months and I am looking forward to more experimentation with it.
