Weaving

Last autumn I bought myself a rigid heddle loom. It is a 15" Schacht Flip loom. I am still very much a weaving beginner, and my progress is slow and wobbly edged. So far I have made a scarf with very different fabric densities at each end and a set of facecloths.

The facecloths are my most recent project, and what I am here to talk about today. They are made from some of the cotton yarns I bought at various points, thinking I would knit such-and-such or crochet this thingamajig (after I learn how to crochet, of course!), but never did.

They are quite small, but large enough, and I have left them fringed because I have not yet learned how to finish them any other way. Give me time!

The yarns are some Debbie Bliss Cathay I bought because it was on sale, which I used for the warp. The weft yarns are some natural coloured mystery cotton, and some orange Rico Creative Cotton Aran. One of the cloths is plain weave and the other two both use a pick-up stick pattern.

I am so proud of them, and I really love them!
