What to do with hand woven wool?

    What to do with hand woven wool?

    I just started weaving and I am trying to think of patterns for it.  The maximum width I can produce is 24 inches.  Any ideas?

      well the first things i thought of was a shawl or a small blanket. i guess it depends on what the weave is like. Do you want to weave it and then cut it up into something? like a handbag, maybe. congrats on learning to weave!

        I made a fabric bucket to hold supplies with the first piece. 

        I am thinking of taylored handbags maybe to contrast with the rough texture of the fabric.  I am not afraid to cut it up.  If I mess it up, I can always make more.

        Right now I have a lovely piece of 14" by 44" of gray linen in a rough, loose weave.
