Beth D Thunder Snow photos. Finished piece is mounted on canvas stretchers and measures 12w x 24 h 10/2 mercerized cotton at 36 epi. Four Color Double Weave on 24 shafts. warp is white and a medium, lively blue weft is off white and hummingbird…a medium, dull purple. The idea for the show was to come up with a piece that would show the colors of winter, either cold and stormy, or warm and cozy. I chose my 4 colors carefully, because in 4 color double weave it’s the mix of your chosen colors that is apparent. I think it depicts the cold and story, fairly well. I like the roundish shapes that remind us of snowballs, or frozen hail. The color choices remind me of the winter sky and landscape.

Sandy N Twill gamp from Heather Winslow workshop. Two towels that I did with leftover warp I learned to love my new 16 shaft Ashford. I used 8/2 unmercerized cotton for warp and weft set at 24 epi for a total of 423 ends plus 2 ends for floating selvedges. We had to use contrasting colors. One side of the gamp was done in color and weave. The gamp measures 15/34 inches wide by 46 inches long. I did the twill patterns assigned by Heather. We had optional weaves to test after the gamp. There were seven. Broken 1/3 twill, background windows 1/3, 1/3 & basket, 1/3 &2/2, 3/1 & 1/3 straight draw, double weave, and honeycomb. The towels were 15/34 wide by 27 inches and 31 inches long.

June 2021 Challenge and Show & Tell

Beth D Guild challenge using red, red/orange, and orange. 2 towels in summer and winter weave. Tie up was changed to weave second towel. 8/2 cotton for warp, tabby weft and pattern weft.

Claudia W. Jennifer Moores Workshop. Still trying a variety of colors but settled on black weft for the latest.

Nanette M I feel like the elephant who labored and brought forth a mouse. Analogous colors were a cinch, I thought. Reds/purples are my favorite, had my 8″ Structo warped in red and threaded to a miniature overshot pattern. Well, have you ever looked at the selection of colors in floss that would be suitable? I got a bunch, that I really liked, weren’t too close to one another, red purple to use for tabbies. playing with whole pattern repeats, partial repeats in various colors, single colors with different tabbies, etc. I learned more than I thought I would. 1) Just because colors are analogous, it doesn’t mean they will play nicely together. 2) Changing tabby doesn’t make as much difference as you might expect when they are similar in value. 3) Above all: VALUE WILL TRUMP HUE. I already knew this, but was surprised at how close in value most of my chosen colors were, making for very subdued patterns.

Pat B analogous color study, crackle sample. Analogous — Dark Red, Red, Pink, Yellow, a bit of a stretch. substituting orange for the pink for a truer study

Sandy N. I used Analogous variegated 8/2 Tercel for the warp. The weft for the fuchia was 8/2 bamboo. I had some warp left over so I tried a blue rayon for the weft. The scarf pattern was from Sixty Scarves for 60 Years. It is called Diamond back twill. It is set at 30 epi. I reversed the treadling for the scarf which was an accidental moment and liked it better. The small sample was woven as written. Not much shrinkage at all.

Al N 12 sett, gradient cotton blue in warp and weft. Added the white weft since I ran out of gradient. The black and bright blue in second are hemp cotton blend, courser. Seems like one “tooth” is thicker than the other. Weft is four threads, warp only 3? Did I goof? Also gradient bobbin changes?

Karen York Spring Table Runner Fiber: 100% 8/4 cotton (Yes, carpet warp!) Structure/Sett: Plain weave, straight draw, 15 epi, 15 dent reed, 4 yard warp This is weaving kindergarten, or weaving for dummies. My desire was to weave some spring after a long, long, hard winter. I checked my ever-ready stash of carpet warp, and picked out the brightest, boldest colors I could find. I made the runner long enough to fit on both my antique tables. The kitchen table is 48″ x 60.” My dining room table is 48″ x 48.” It does what it was designed for: it certainly lights up a room. Comments: After warping my loom, I experimented with weft colors. My plan was to use a light tan, but I found that just dulled the warp down. I tried the colors in the warp, but eventually settled for a natural. That seemed to bring up the colors and not get buried in the strong colors of the warp. I wove a 2″ hem of 8/2 unmercerized cotton in natural, then 72″ of the 8/4 unmercerized cotton in natural, then finished with the 8/2. When hand hemmed, the runner measured 72″ x 19. After wet finishing, it measured 60% x 17.”

Pat B:Warp 8/2 white and white slub from the woolery with red, light green, green, dark green, and yellow accents. The pin stripes are double threads, each in their own heddle. L-R: The towels with the red stripes were woven with the white slub. 22×30 off the loom. 18×26 after washing. The towels with the dark green stripes used to have red accents. The 3rd towel became a sampler. You are seeing the back side. Woven with a variety of slub yarns and experimented with some weft bands and accents with the 8/2. The 4th towel was woven with a double strand of fine natural white slub with a 2-bobbin shuttle. 22×33 off loom, 17 x 30 after washing. I laid in double thread pinstripes overlapping about 3″ in the wide bands every 11 picks. A bit of a pain to do but I like the look. I put in a wide band to match the wide color band in the warp. I washed a full inch wider than the rest of the towel. Teach me not to wash the sampler before weaving the final towel.

Karen Y. Table Runner- Rug warp Item: Table Runner Fiber: 8/4 carpet Structure/Sett: Plain weave, set at 15 epi I was asked to make a table runner for our grandson and family for a table he made from resourced barn wood. It is a large table, 41″ x 70,’ set in an open kitchen/dining room/living room, with windows on two sides. The house in decorated in Pinterest style, all grays, blacks, whites. I decided they need a dash of color, so I used strong colors, navy, purple, dark green, gold, yellow green, light blue in a stripe pattern. The weft is the purple, with a square in the middle of the runner mimicking the stripe pattern The runner is set at 15 epi in a 15 dent reed, and has a ppi of 12. Comments: I am pretty satisfied with the runner. After wet finishing it, it turned out to be 13″ x 60″ hemmed. It shrunk 6% in width and 12% in length. It is bold and rustic. I hope they like it. And it cost me $0.00, as everything came from my stash of the infamous carpet warp.
