The red blanket mentioned at the end of the last post. Hard to photograph I discovered and doesn't show the many tones and shades of red. This was to be a stash buster, 1 kilo of wool per blanket in the warp and 350gm angora in the weft of each blanket. Didn't make a dent on the shelf. In fact, there is enough of this yarn for at least one more blanket. Its all hand dyed. These are now off the loom and waiting for ends to be tasselled.
And for a change of colour scheme, this olive cotton/linen warp was left over from another project threaded 1,2,3,4 so am trying this 1;3, 3;1 stripe with a teal cotton. Have no idea how much warp is left maybe a metre maybe 2. Aimee, if you read this, its the same warp you played on but whereas you had the shuttle go over 2 threads, under 2, I'm going over 3 under 1 for the teal stripe and over 1 under 3 for the olive stripe and its the reverse on the back. Its quite neat to go back to basics as a change from the rather complicated projects I usually tackle.
