Bev A – 8+ yard warp for towels
Bev A – The first towel on the loom, sett at 12 epi in twill (4H). Each towel will have a different weft color.
Linda A – Warp has been on the loom so long I’m surprised it’s still good- actually about 4-5 years. Finally I have determined to weave the loom empty. Warp was originally for weaving a rug, then a practice warp for learning split shaft weaving (which I haven’t done yet), decided the loom just needs to be emptied and start over. About 4 feet still to go, will use as yardage for upcoming sewing project or make table runners and placemats. Warp is wool rug yarn from the rug company that has since out of business in Henderson NC (New Zealand wool). Weft is 3 strands of fine (lace weight) Merino wool.
Linda A – Finally finished! From the Echo workshop with Beth Duncan I have 1 towel and yardage that will probably become a vest or bags. I sampled 4 towels for color and weave comparisons, which are being used in my kitchen. Echo workshop with Beth Duncan March 2019? Loom set for Echo diamond weave. Treading pattern was changed to get rid of the “Point” on the yardage. Towel is the pattern and planned in the workshop. Fiber: 8/2 Cotton Sett 24epi. Towel: weft 8/2 cotton dark purple Yardage: weft 6 strand rust color cotton.
