Two Projects
I have two projects on the loom right now, and other than both being fancy twills, they could not be more different.
The first is a white cotton dish towel warp on my AVL. It is double beaten to get it to square, and with the AVL it just goes ZOOM. Even with setting a temple every half inch or so it only takes two hours to weave off a 28″ dish towel. I also need hearing protection, and it’s an aerobic experience.
The second is on my Macomber, and is a beautiful gradient warp on sock yarn that I’m weaving with a spring green laceweight yarn carried double. Each pick has to be gently nudged into square, and the double bobbin shuttle carefully advanced while the beater is at the fell to keep both threads the same length. and the edges even. It’s slow, patient, near silent, and very meditative.
I enjoy both projects, but definitely when I’m in different moods!!
One pattern repeat on each project in the pictures.
