A few photos of weavings. The wonderful way that warp and weft combine. Some lovely colors too. Cotton fleece weaves nicely. I did find that the sett for twill should be 8 or 10 dents per inch rather than the 12 dpi that I used in the pink throw. Experience is a valued teacher.
The friendship coverlet was a worthwhile project. It taught me how to center a draft for a predetermined warp size. Each weft wove up a little differently. I tried all the tricks. I could not stand to sit through one whole block. It was easier to schedule a few breaks in between than to take many days off. Once started it was all too soon finished. There were 12 yards of warp total. Can't believe that I actually got it all on the beam!
