Deck the Halls Christmas Towels | A pattern from Valley yarns, I used their 8/2 cotton. This is very soft yarn and sticks together. I really struggled warping this front to back and it convinced me that back to front warping was best for my loom. Broken threads added to the struggle but I was able to use some of the skills I leaned from Tom Knisely to minimize the issues. | 110 cm Louet Spring 2 floor loom | Warp and Weft both: Valley Yarns 8/2 cotton | November 2025 | |
Cotton Cloud Pinwheel Towles | A kit I purchased from Cotton Clouds, I loved the look. This was the first project I did on my Spring loom that required all 8 shafts and 10 treadles. I struggled with the warp a bit but once I got it all tied on, the weaving went quickly. | 110 cm Louet Spring 2 floor loom | Warp and Weft both: Cotton Clouds 8/2 Cotton | November 2025 | |
Cotton Cloud Artisan Towels | A kit I purchased from Cotton Clouds, it was supposed to be a houndstooth pattern that did not turn out quite like I had hoped. They still turned out well and the 5 colors looked good together. | 110 cm Louet Spring 2 floor loom | Warp and Weft bot: Cotton Clouds 8/2 Cotton | October 2025 | |
Trial Towels | I had used some yarn from a stash I had bought to warp my new loom prior to attending class but did nothing else until I returned. I set the treadles up for tabby and twill and practiced treadling and throwing the shuttle. I these colors as they were my least favorite and I did not care about the final product. They aren't pretty but they are pretty hearty towels. Maybe to wash the cars? | 110 cm Louet Spring 2 Floor Loom | Warp and Weft both: 3/2 Cotton from unknown mill | October 2025 | |
Twill Gamp | A gamp is basically a sampler. This is a 6x8 grid where there were 6 different warp threadings and we then wove 8 different treadling patterns. This is a great reference if you want to do a full design of one of the specific patterns. The top and the bottom are both tabby weave. | Schacht Wolf Pup | Warp and Weft both: Maurice Brassard 8/2 Cotton | September 2025 | |
Class Towel | The loom was already warped and we were asked to pick a color of yarn (I chose Periwinkle) and weave a pattern they provided. It is a combination of plain (tabby) weave and some twill stripes. I had enough time to weave 2 (nearly) identical towels. | Schacht Wolf Pup | Warp and Weft both: Maurice Brassard 8/2 Cotton | September 2025 | |
Stash Towels | I bought quite a bit of 3/2 cotton from someone selling their stash on Facebook. The natural and black seemed to have shrunk a bit more so mabe the blue and gray are mercerized? | 32" Ashford Rigid Heddle | Warp and Weft both: Mercerized 8/2 Cotton | August 2025 | |
