<\/a><\/p>\nI beamed the warp, and as long-time readers know, one of my favorite shots is a painted warp going around the back beam.<\/p>\n
I started weaving with the yellow weft and loved it. But wait…why am I going through the weft faster than planned?<\/p>\n Back to my notes and Geez! Once again I hadn’t paid enough attention to the numbers. My math told me I needed about 2.5 ounces of yarn for weft per towel. So although I wanted to weave two towels of each weft color, I only made my skeins about 2.5 ounces each! <\/p>\n So I only had enough weft for four towels, not eight. I had to dye more yarn. And I didn’t have enough of that hemp-cotton blend, so had to go in my stash for more undyed 8\/2 unmercerized cotton, and fortunately had some. Wind more skeins and go back down to the basement to dye them. I decided as long as I was dyeing more yarn, I’d make each towel a slightly different color. This time I mixed up tangerine, celery, turquoise (with no additions), and red-violet. Here are the 8 wefts all together.<\/p>\n Back to the loom. Weave all eight towels, wet finish, and hem them, and here you go.<\/p>\n I divided the towels into two batches for the photos, and decided to label them for posting both here and on Facebook. The first four have that hemp-cotton yarn for both warp and weft.<\/p>\n And the next four have the same warp, but 100% cotton weft.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
