Sh*t Happens
Question: How can I weave a whole 20 yards without noticing a sleying error? Answer: Rather easily apparently. :P~ So I have a dozen towels with a sleying error.

Next Warp
Sorry about the out of focus picture. It looked fine on the camera screen and in the thumbnail, not so much here. 🙁 However the point is to see the colours, which at least do show. From this bin I will be making up a warp for sample #2 for AGY:L&H (and a little cotton,…
