    Not exactly a snowflake, but this threading fits precisely into the number of threads I wound so how could I not use it? This is how it looks woven as drawn in. No doubt I’ll play with the treadling, although I think I’ll use this one with the singles linen. It should be very pretty.…

    When I moaned about how long it was taking to use up the the red cotton, I had obviously forgotten how much blue I had! It seems like I’ve been weaving predominantly blue for a long, long time. Of course, such fine thread weaves for a long time, so….. This won’t likely be the last…

    I’m back to the AVL and tea towels, weaving with the single 6’s cotton. My initial choice (to the left) seemed to be a bit flimsy to me, so I decided to change the weave structure and ppi. Instead of a fancy twill, I changed to an advancing twill treadling, and increased the ppi from…

    While it feels like I haven’t used up much of my stash (there is still soooo much left!) I guess I must be making some headway because I unearthed a bunch of huge cones of single 6’s cotton that have been lurking in the corner of my store room for a very long time. The…

    After trying several different treadlings, I’ve settled on this one. What can be seen is the hem portion at the bottom, with one repeat of the pattern at the top. It’s subtle but pleasing, I think. It’s been a challenging day as I got news that didn’t please me from the doctor. My cholesterol levels,…

    Not sure why this photo looks so fuzzy on the blog – it looked fine in my Kodak software. Oh well……. These are the 100% cotton towels, woven last – October? My how time flies. Anyway, I got them wet finished and pressed today. They will be used as gifts for anyone buying a copy…
