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
End of thread on device
Reached the end of the towel and the end of the pirn at the same time! WINNING!
