The warp alternated sections of 18/2 merino wool and 30/2 Bombyx Silk in<br />two colorways. The weft used the same yarns creating squares. The magic happens<br />when the scarf is felted.

What follows are interpretations of the same threading draft and the weaver's comments about their take on the challenge. As expected, no two experiments are the same.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I've taken some of the text posted on the display board from the fair and added a few thoughts of my own.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Basics of Weaving<br />The patterns for weaving come from three components: the threading, tie-up and treadling. Any combination of those three items will affect the outcome of the woven item. In each example, the threading was kept the same or enlarged for the project, but the tie up and sometimes the treadling was changed. In the five works, see if you can pick out what is the same and what is different. </span><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Mardi Naythons<br />Since this was the first time that I worked with advancing and point twill together, I decided to use the original threading as noted. It is a smaller sample because of that. It has only 396 threads. The treadling is tromp-as-writ. The one thing that I did do to make it somewhat mine was to make an ice dyed warp in sections. I tried to make the outer areas the same and I jogged the </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">middle section in the dye bath so that it would be different.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmv803IIzJ1Bs6MEJDV_GsTcAgD5v92aDUnJszGdIwy5ywCgXhz7fmLlB_D6ARURDM7Qs2OZgSlpqQeK_isJRkXQoh-1Eye4bc51iMwnbs0IlKQi75cN9-qODJgExfOkaatIxFO6NNN773Xjo2PxIzusm8aUxPgZO254x1LITRfcv6BVfi8ikRgA/s190/mardi's%20towel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="190" data-original-width="129" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmv803IIzJ1Bs6MEJDV_GsTcAgD5v92aDUnJszGdIwy5ywCgXhz7fmLlB_D6ARURDM7Qs2OZgSlpqQeK_isJRkXQoh-1Eye4bc51iMwnbs0IlKQi75cN9-qODJgExfOkaatIxFO6NNN773Xjo2PxIzusm8aUxPgZO254x1LITRfcv6BVfi8ikRgA/w272-h400/mardi's%20towel.jpg" width="272" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Ingrid Knox<br />I took the original threading and extended it to the width I needed for a towel. I created two different random stripe patterns for the two areas with different threading designs. The tie-up is a 1-1-1-1-2-2 pattern. This towel used a tromp-as-writ treadling – that means I used treadles that mirrored the threading. The towel was woven using 10/2 cotton for the warp and weft. The sett is 30 epi.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFOeGWdlYFXXZUFmdNEFkbcvBuFJUfEbNOxVjUKPbIIPG-KSVGeKu3lxiUvYJys-fT1R-0tjBZr0m1P_Yc7e0oJwf4JIhM3Npy3mDAZ5eMjNeI2jIJkPHIiu29uVQjWS77lMSOphLqNQKbpveVamvLaMOBwJDTheJRy3Jdj8dvLu9fyURAHf5qA/s640/Ingrid%20Towel%201a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFOeGWdlYFXXZUFmdNEFkbcvBuFJUfEbNOxVjUKPbIIPG-KSVGeKu3lxiUvYJys-fT1R-0tjBZr0m1P_Yc7e0oJwf4JIhM3Npy3mDAZ5eMjNeI2jIJkPHIiu29uVQjWS77lMSOphLqNQKbpveVamvLaMOBwJDTheJRy3Jdj8dvLu9fyURAHf5qA/w300-h400/Ingrid%20Towel%201a.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><p><br /> <span style="font-family: helvetica;">Jeanne Doty<br />There were so many weaving possibilities in this weaving draft. Beryl Moody provided us with 37 different tie ups. Since it was difficult to choose just one, I chose 5 and made a scarf instead of 5 towels. It was fun to see these different drafts right next to each other. The warp was maroon 8/2 tencel with a lemon green 8/2 tencel weft.

In retrospect, I think the weavings would have been more successful if I’d kept the weft color constant and varied the warp colors instead.<br /></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVm45RMa6OU4h-gPzt2DrbMQvvRdk_xXiv3rHLK5U3oJuu07_vLpXtlsrdVtryPIgUiZE07-BtoKjP1Hf6IxXh6wn8WGU2bBoyA6vIvQEc2di0y_QaOeVc3F6QNNHUDUP4-Lo1sFydAPETiDhSVCu5TazAN5yDvzrDzOELNA4Nxm7o2O4MiNuBEQ/s393/Wendy-Marie.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="322" data-original-width="393" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVm45RMa6OU4h-gPzt2DrbMQvvRdk_xXiv3rHLK5U3oJuu07_vLpXtlsrdVtryPIgUiZE07-BtoKjP1Hf6IxXh6wn8WGU2bBoyA6vIvQEc2di0y_QaOeVc3F6QNNHUDUP4-Lo1sFydAPETiDhSVCu5TazAN5yDvzrDzOELNA4Nxm7o2O4MiNuBEQ/w400-h328/Wendy-Marie.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Beryl Moody<br />Weavers are always looking for a way to express their own ideas in the items they choose to weave. This weaving draft was ripe for an adventure. Having woven it nineteen years ago in a rather straightforward manner, I was thinking about what changes I could make this time around. <br /><br />I decided that if I were to alternate colors in certain sections of the warp and then weave that warp with alternating colors this could change the appearance of the final textile, yet have it retain some of the original design. This method (in weaver's vernacular) is called color-and-weave. Where there are alternating color changes they tend to obscure the original design and give you something with an entirely new look. The towel I wove is a combination of the original draft showing through, along with sections of color interplay that distort that original pattern. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span> <br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2EiIE0ABvCMJZ2D5I2rKzhkpkVwRNyz3QBbC9rCvyq8q6-GwwrH4qIigADyUU-eOtOFgYzG_QhZjHRIjRuZphTitqG7EnoqRMmCWVrGbG_Mp2TsmwCpX-d9HsQ2wCrYwsHx_suNpY-rAtH58uRYWGLOQPwEa2HvWH8EIylSXcBtV_sLVzyi4zlg/s1668/beryl%20towel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1590" data-original-width="1668" height="381" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2EiIE0ABvCMJZ2D5I2rKzhkpkVwRNyz3QBbC9rCvyq8q6-GwwrH4qIigADyUU-eOtOFgYzG_QhZjHRIjRuZphTitqG7EnoqRMmCWVrGbG_Mp2TsmwCpX-d9HsQ2wCrYwsHx_suNpY-rAtH58uRYWGLOQPwEa2HvWH8EIylSXcBtV_sLVzyi4zlg/w400-h381/beryl%20towel.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Here is a photo of one of the original towels woven 19 years ago.

I'm writing this in first person, because as you will see in this post, much of it had to do with a challenge to myself 19 years ago, the mileage I've gotten from that challenge and how it all played out at the Nevada County Fair in 2023.</p><p>In 2004, the Nevada County Fair was somewhat the same as it is today, but also different. The Wool show was held in Sugar Pine Lodge - open on both ends so that people could walk through and look at the various exhibits. There was noise, and dust - a lot of it, but it also encouraged a lot of people that hadn't thought about looking at our handwoven and handspun entries. We had a ton of kids coming in to try their hand at weaving on inkle looms and hands on spinning done with a hook that created little bracelets that they themselves had spun. </p><p>Since demonstrations were a big part of what we were doing, I wanted to have a lot of different weavers, weaving something that was a bit flashy for the public. The problem was that these weavers needed to have a simple treadling sequence so that they could manage to keep track of what they were doing with all the surrounding chaos. I wrote about my solution in a blog post several years later. <a href="https://bannermountaintextiles.blogspot.com/2009/05/designing-interesting-warps-for-public.html">https://bannermountaintextiles.blogspot.com/2009/05/designing-interesting-warps-for-public.html</a></p><p>Fast forward to 2023. The Not 2 Square Weavers (of which there are currently thirteen members) wanted a challenge to do something with a draft that I had designed. Very few of the current membership were involved in the fair of 2004, so I thought it would be fun to weave the draft again and have each person who wanted to participate put their very own spin on it. The idea was that we would put up a display with some of the history and include all of the projects we created in 2023 along with a couple of the original woven towels from 2004.</p><p>Jeanne Doty agreed to do the display and asked for written descriptions from all of us who participated to give the public a sense of what we were trying to do.</p><p>Here is a photo of the display from 2023. Wouldn't it have been fun to see a photo of the original weavers from 2004? </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9DrTJzJp_ZJuzbUyez9tZ_UGf62X2JCXiMdcsFWvPrs1CqjYEQfTZRUagItDDxlS9BEqIULNyd0qFRnQCsm3dBKSbchLV7m_KwcDPitQb-VKnlCaeAOKtugxDbzuZjlGntpgtXo9xsk4Wdz40QGGY1yfttEGY1-lfJWNYNjd25DBKrGnOvuA9Q/s870/callenge%20display.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="870" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9DrTJzJp_ZJuzbUyez9tZ_UGf62X2JCXiMdcsFWvPrs1CqjYEQfTZRUagItDDxlS9BEqIULNyd0qFRnQCsm3dBKSbchLV7m_KwcDPitQb-VKnlCaeAOKtugxDbzuZjlGntpgtXo9xsk4Wdz40QGGY1yfttEGY1-lfJWNYNjd25DBKrGnOvuA9Q/w640-h442/callenge%20display.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p>And, for those of you who are weavers - here is the draft with the same threading as was on the demonstration loom.

It is a plain weave shawl in stripes of random widths and colors, 24” in the reed. What makes it more than just a plain weave shawl is, again, the randomly placed inlay patterns upon the stripes. The pattern for the inlays Diana chose is from Davison, p. 131, Johann Schleelein’s #123, which creates interlocked circles. The pattern structure is 26 ends, so all stripes in the shawl are multiples of 26. Some stripes are 26 ends wide, some 52, some 78, and one is 104. It takes 20 pics (alternated by tabby) to complete the pattern, so her pattern inlays vary from 2 to 4 times in length.<br /><br />The warp is 8/2 tencel in three different pastel colors and 8/2 rayon in two other colors set at 24 epi. The background weft is 16/2 bamboo in coquille, and the pattern weft is Malabrigo Mora silk in two different colors, lettuce and teal feather.</span><br /><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oS-ukzHx7a8/YZSHx7naDjI/AAAAAAAAGQo/50mQQb-yH4wPcV4Ev3Rf5Sb24HhwiYEpwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Inlaid%2Bpattern%2Bshawl%2Bwith%2Bshuttle.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1479" data-original-width="2048" height="289" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oS-ukzHx7a8/YZSHx7naDjI/AAAAAAAAGQo/50mQQb-yH4wPcV4Ev3Rf5Sb24HhwiYEpwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h289/Inlaid%2Bpattern%2Bshawl%2Bwith%2Bshuttle.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Inlay pattern shawl with shuttle showing the small shuttle to pick up and weave in pattern upon a stripe</span></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m1GGNcOY6pE/YZSJjB5FATI/AAAAAAAAGQw/9Pvg8B_POMY7HejV7Bmty-QqUF-qgQKxgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Inlaid%2BPattern%2Bshawl%2BB.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1739" data-original-width="2048" height="340" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-m1GGNcOY6pE/YZSJjB5FATI/AAAAAAAAGQw/9Pvg8B_POMY7HejV7Bmty-QqUF-qgQKxgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h340/Inlaid%2BPattern%2Bshawl%2BB.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Inlay pattern shawl off the loom.

They are very sturdy and make excellent gifts. The yarn is 8/2 unmercerized cotton, sett is 24 epi. Leib recommends that the plain weave hem be done with sewing thread or 20/2 cotton. This is important to keep the PW hem even with the twill cloth. (Ask me how I know.)<br /><br />The first time I made these cloths, I used the blue yarn available in my stash. This round, I ordered the recommended blue, Brassard Medium Blue #5029. It is a beautiful, vibrant color. For my next batch I will order more instead of making substitutions.

The teal scarf is an 8-shaft pattern called "Chakras." The warp is tencel and 10/2 perle cotton, the weft is 20/2 perle cotton, sapphire. The sett is 40 epi. Denise strongly recommended that we avoid white, as it tends to cancel out the other colors. I think the silver tencel in this scarf had the same tendency, so the scarf is interesting but not iridescent as I had hoped.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9r8SCJmk6As/YKlAAhsK99I/AAAAAAAAF-M/eX3kkaKF3DEgll9uQv6uFpLOMyCr5tJaACLcBGAsYHQ/s597/Echo%2BScarf%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="446" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9r8SCJmk6As/YKlAAhsK99I/AAAAAAAAF-M/eX3kkaKF3DEgll9uQv6uFpLOMyCr5tJaACLcBGAsYHQ/w299-h400/Echo%2BScarf%2B2.jpg" width="299" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The second pair of scarves are made using a 4-shaft Kovnat pattern called "Blooming Leaf." Again, the sett was 40 epi. The left hand one had a purple 10/2 cotton for weft, the right was made with fuchsia 20/2 perle cotton. Of the two, the fuchsia weft produced a lot more iridescence. </span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span> <br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l792yXug57Y/YKlAOUYkuxI/AAAAAAAAF-Q/Er60_NziAq04Xc6vJQdi--CCRZAC9f3QgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Blooming%2Bleaf%2Bscarf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l792yXug57Y/YKlAOUYkuxI/AAAAAAAAF-Q/Er60_NziAq04Xc6vJQdi--CCRZAC9f3QgCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/Blooming%2Bleaf%2Bscarf.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>_________________________________________________________________________________<p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ingrid's Projects</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Several Not 2 Square members are working on our local fiber guild's challenge.

The final shawl size is 85"x 20". Another change that she made was to substitute 8/2 tencel for the Zephyr wool-silk given in the instructions.

green yarn (see photo at left). No explanation, although Beryl thought
maybe being 24 epi in the warp and about 20 ppi in the weft could create
the difference. Who knows? All yarns 10/2 cotton, except the pale green
was 8/2, I believe</span>."</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cjv6WX3iNrE/YBDqzx5YXoI/AAAAAAAAF0E/FuvWgwnerbsn-W7PzJZoO6sufayG0X2FwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Heart%2Bscarf.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cjv6WX3iNrE/YBDqzx5YXoI/AAAAAAAAF0E/FuvWgwnerbsn-W7PzJZoO6sufayG0X2FwCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/Heart%2Bscarf.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">These scarves were also woven by Diana as Christmas gifts for her two granddaughters.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The first few meetings were a bit strange because we are used to passing around our month's work, asking questions and feeling the textiles with our hands.

<br />
This month, Diana shared a stunning scarf with us. She delved into the world of supplementary warp and used a pattern from an older issue of Handwoven. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uGqkDnfbSmM/XvFBhOJWN5I/AAAAAAAAFlc/IfbPH-AJI70fhXlIqQK3s1gWdh6aGwkBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Supplementary%2BWarp%2BScarf.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uGqkDnfbSmM/XvFBhOJWN5I/AAAAAAAAFlc/IfbPH-AJI70fhXlIqQK3s1gWdh6aGwkBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Supplementary%2BWarp%2BScarf.jpg" width="300" /></a>Here is her description and a photo of that scarf.<br />
<br />
Structure<br />
Ground Warp- plain weave and Atwater-Bronson lace<br />
Supplementary Warp - Overshot <br />
<br />
Fiber<br />
Ground warp: 8/2 rayon in pale yellow and natural<br />
Supplementary warp: 20/2 rayon doubled, in teal<br />
Weft: 8/2 rayon in pale yellow<br />
<br />
Sett<br />
24epi (48epi in supplementary warp areas)<br />
<br />
Finished size<br />
8 1/4" W x 73"L + fringe<br />
<br />
Notes<br />
When winding the warp, add at least 20% more in length to the supplementary warp than you have wound for the ground warp.<br />
<br />
<br />

Ingrid has been weaving scarves, and like Diana, is trying out new weaving ideas.<br />
<br />
Here’s a picture of the new scarf. It was woven with 10/2 tencel from Just Our Yarns (different color-ways for the warp and weft), sett at 36 epi. The structure is an 8-point M’s twill, the tie-up is 2-2-1-1-1-1- twill. It wove up beautifully, didn’t shrink much and felt nice and soft after a gentle machine wash and laying flat to dry.<br />

Wendy-Marie has moved out of the area, but the fun thing about Zoom is that she can again participate in Not 2 Square. This month she had a couple of adventures to share.<br />
<br />
"This month I worked on a scarf based on Sarah Jackson's "Brasberry Scarf," (<i>Handwoven, May/June 2019)</i>. Since she used analogous colors and I did not, I was not sure how it would turn out. But the blocks came out fine. In the Jackson pattern, the weft changes color 4 times, and the blocks expand as the scarf progresses. I think I will re-do using only one weft color and only one block size.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My second project was a boundweave rug based on Wendy Bestor's design, but not her colors. This uses Collingwood rug wool (900 ypp). I found it came out better for the weft if I wound three threads of wool together on the bobbin than to throw the yarn three times in one shed as suggested by the pattern. I did not achieve anything like 14 ppi, so ran out of warp. My weaving buddies tell me this is because I was using my Baby Wolf and suggest that I weight the beater next time round. Despite a number of weaving errors (including accidental asymmetry), I like this rug a lot. It is very attractive and sturdy."</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This week, Not 2 Square lost one of our former members, Sue Habbeger. Sue graduated from Chico State, having studied weaving while she was there. Later she moved to Española, New Mexico and studied the Chimayo style of weaving. She built her own loom and did a lot of tapestry type weaving. She was a talented potter and weaver and won many awards for her beautiful work. She was actively engaged in progressive causes and was particularly passionate about protecting the environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Observations about weaving twill towels from Mardi:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After completing some relatively difficult projects and wrestling with adding 4 shafts, expanding my Ideal Glimakra loom to 8 shafts, I decided to try a set of “easy” twill towels. I browsed through <i>8-Shaft Patterns</i> , edited by Carol Strickler and noticed that there were several variations of twills threaded in an 8 shaft straight draw and decided to explore the possibilities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First I decided on color and design and got started. I chose turquoise with green stripes, sett at 18 EPI. The width in the reed was 22inches. I wove the towels to 33 inches plus allowance for hems. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Plain Weave is always a good place for me to start, just to see what the overall color effect is. The result was as expected. Then I tried #2, #13, 327 and #29. I discovered that not every pattern looks good on both sides. I also discovered that I hadn’t checked for floats. There were a few with 4 thread floats. I wasn’t sure that was going to be acceptable. When I took the towels off the loom I wasn’t happy at all and then remembered that it is really not possible to evaluate the results without wet finishing. They actually turned out satisfactorily.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After finishing the turquoise towels, I wanted to see if it would be possible to tie on a second set. One might think that is easy, but I had not tied the first warp onto the back beam. I had looped a rod through to attach the warp. I didn’t know how to tie on to slipping threads. It was suggested at a meeting (Thank you Jackie Hervey) that I try to stabilize the first warp by weaving a short section in front of the reed, allowing enough thread length to complete the tying process. It worked beautifully and a second set of yellow striped towels was secured. Due to the difference in yarn grist, I decided to re-sley to 20 EPI.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I should also use Fiberworks to check things like floats and back of fabric view. I also decided that while a straight draw “looks easy”, the patterns that can be achieved are somewhat limiting.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">I hosted my first Not 2 Square group meeting this August. We gathered in my studio, a workshop addition my husband and I had built onto the back of our detached garage, where I debuted my latest project: two tea towels and ten napkins. </span><br style="font-size: 15px;" /><br style="font-size: 15px;" /><span style="font-size: 15px;">The yarn and instructions were from the Organic Cottolin Tea Towels: Eight Woven Twill Towels kit by Halcyon Yarn. I was lucky enough to win the kit at the Halcyon Yarn booth at Convergence 2018 in Reno. I chose the Peacock colorway which consisted of 4-1,550 yard tubes of 2/8 organic cotolin in peacock, teal, magenta and lime, and the pattern by Michael Patterson for Halcyon Yarn. </span><br style="font-size: 15px;" /><br style="font-size: 15px;" /><span style="font-size: 15px;">I followed the warp color guide, wound an 8-yard warp and dressed my 8-shaft Baby Wolf loom at 20 epi with the threading provided, which was based on a four-thread herringbone draft. After weaving two towels I decided they looked good in my studio, but I didn’t need eight tea towels out there. What I could put to good use would be napkins. I was able to weave ten unique napkins by varying the treading and weft colors and I am pleased with the result. </span><br style="font-size: 15px;" /><br style="font-size: 15px;" /><span style="font-size: 15px;">The cotolin, 60% organic cotton and 40% linen, was a little rough on the tube and shed a bit while weaving, but the finished items have a lovely hand. When washed in warm water in the washing machine, hung to dry and pressed with my 35-year-old Elna clothing press, the cotton bloomed and the linen relaxed. The fabric length was cut apart, edges stay stitched, and items hemmed by hand. There was a 15% draw-in and shrinkage so the finished napkins were a touch over 17” x 17”. I would definitely weave with the Halcyon Yarn cottolin again.</span></span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">As I wove, I changed the weft colors as I went. I had a basic plan, but I let the colors be my muse. There were a few surprises along the way, for example, I had never considered using white in the weft, but it worked well. Also, at the end of the warp, I decided to just use straight orange rather than putting in stripes. It turned out that there was enough to make a towel, though it was slightly shorter than the others and I really liked it.</span><br />
