I pulled this combination of yarns before I left in January and am still undecided about whether or not I really like them. The spools are 2/16 cotton, the orange cone is 2/20 merc. cotton from Lynn’s stash. I keep going back to see if they sit any better than they did the time before. I guess the only thing left is to just jump in, beam the warp and start weaving with the orange to see if it gels or not.
If not, I do have a back up plan. There are still several cones of the 2/18 Fox Fibre Color Grown naturals, both in brown and pale green. I’ve used that combination before and the results were fine.
The AVL needs to have a warp put on it. I’m nearly done with the run of towels using the variegated cotton flake. After the rose warp, there is one more large blue (purple/green) and a fairly large red (green/navy) and once those are woven, I will be starting on the Big Project samples, for which I will mostly be using the 4 shaft Leclerc. Having a nice long towel warp on the AVL will give me a palate cleanser should I need a break from thinking about and weaving the samples. And it’s all got to be woven at some point anyway, so….
Now to find out when/if Doug has time to wind the warp for me. 🙂
