Stripes or Plaid
I finished winding the warp for the towels that were supposed to be my summer project but I ran into a slight problem.
I'm really pushing the limit to what my little loom can do so when I did the heddle count for this particular draft I realized I was 13 short. Heddles are those metal things with slots that you stick the yarn through. The kind I have on the Wolf Pup are discontinued so I had to order some different ones. Now it all sits and waits until they get here.
On the bright side, this will give me time to decide whether I want to weave towel number 2 which is a stripe pattern or number 3 which is the plaid. Number 2 has only one color weft so it will be easier and faster than all those color changes in Number 3. I like the plaid more but I'm feeling lazy after all those color changes I had to deal with in the Big Sock Scarf adventure. Maybe a bit more time will get me motivated again. We'll see.
Both towels are lovely and I'm impressed by those giant heddle clothespins!
ReplyDeleteI like the plaid, too, but choose what's easiest for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for plaid, always!
ReplyDeleteOh, the warp is so pretty on the warping board! I definitely like the striped towel better--sorry for the delay waiting for the order of new heddles!
