Al N. Commercial Tartan.This was 8 harness twill, on a 12 dent reed. Problem was I only had a 17” reed so the pattern was only one way, Count inches rather than threads, The Scottish registry publishes the thread count as Threadcount: W12B56K48G48K8Y12 meaning white 12, Blue 56, Black 48, Green 48, Black, 8, 12 Yellow.

A tablet woven band using 10/2 perle cotton. This is my adjacent colors project. The back looks a lot better than the front.

Barb B. A small table runner in 8/2 unmercerized cotton. Word to the wise: if you’re going to do a Bateman weave, don’t use a table loom. That’s why this runner is so short.

Karen Y.Item: Crazy Quilt Afghan Fiber: 2/2 cotton warp; all acrylic wefts Structure/Sett: Plain Weave, 5 epi This afghan was a pandemic gift to us. I couldn’t concentrate on more complicated weave structures, and I wanted to use up the leftovers from several afghans I had made and gifted in the past ten years. I also tried to follow an analogous color scheme, beginning with what colors I had the most of, in the violet, blues, a little greens, and then threw in a red/orange in the middle. I find a definite center is most helpful in folding up an afghan, hence a cream middle stripe between two dark colors. I am happy with the crazy quilt afghan, because it helped me get through a pretty anxious time, and made something useful with leftovers.

Linda A. Used boucle for warp and “seed it on the canvas backing.

Linda A. I’m trying a new display form for tapestries. Used Boucle for warp and just wove a really quick tapestry to try the different mounting. Used photo canvas for the back to mount on.

Lee A: Athea’s Jacket It’s finished. This 10 /2 perle cotton short sleeve jacket is woven in the Charlotte Overshot, see The Handweaver’s Pattern Directory by Anne Dixon, pg. 110, with an asymmetrical striped warp in peach, red, yellow, navy and weft in lipstick red. It came out quite lovely. The lining and sleeve cuff are a cotton blend in a dark red. I beaded a skirt pin in shades of red crystals and seed beads with gold 15/O seed beads.I call it “Althea’s Jacket.” (She’s waited long enough for it).

Al N. Soft Yak scarf. Soft yak scarf, I was a little mislead by the name, as it’s 76% cotton, 15% yak, and 9% nylon. We’ve been told by our Dr. Kimber Baldwin (Fiber-Optic Yarn) that mixing cotton and wool in a yarn is not good as they tend to break down after a few years. I just grabbed the fiber, measured and warped it before I read the ball band. Knitting yarn so no grist on the label, wrapped at 24 per inch times .66 came our to sett of 15.84 so I used a 15 dent reed, which was maybe too tight. 35 step treadle sequence (advancing-declining twill) was tough to remember where I was On the loom 12.5 x 70 off the loom 11 x 64, white snowflake is back. Treadling errors more obvious on back than front. Selvedges still a little scalloping. Finished on the loom. Grey warp, red weft. Grey overwhelmed.
