Where does the day go?<\/p>\n<p>I did get a warp for 8 towels wound on my counterbalance loom.  Found it interesting that the unmercerized 8\/2 homestead cotton was about 10x harder to beam than the unmercerized 8\/2 Maurice Brassard cotton I use for the baby wraps.  I guess all unmercerizeds are not created equal.<\/p>\n<p>Darn good thing.  If I had to fight with the more-than-double length and width of yarn for every baby wrap the way I fought with the towel warp, I would have stopped weaving wraps after #2.<\/p>\n<p>By the way &#8211; the bread is yummy!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bread-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bread-3.jpg\" alt=\"end of bread sliced\" width=\"450\" height=\"407\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bread-3.jpg 450w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bread-3-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bread-3-150x135.jpg 150w, https:\/\/secondwindjewelry.com\/jewelry-weaving-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bread-3-400x361.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>For the past 2 days I spent most of my time &#038; energy working a fundraiser for my local library.
