Just another Knitter learns to weave

More towels and more towels

After Christmas I had a few days at home to work on my weaving, so I finished the teal/turquoise swiss twill warp. Mimi decided she needed more attention so she snuck in and took a seat.



Here's the big pile just off the loom. I've wet finished now, but need to press and hem them still.



And finally, I got a new warp on the loom. This is a mystery cotton warp that's not particularly strong. Fortunately, it wound on like a dream, but now that I'm weaving, I'm getting a lot of broken ends on my selvedges. I have it threaded in a crackle pattern and love it! I didn't get a picture of any of the weaving though, so here's just a picture of the warp, ready to go on.



Oh, also, I got an inkle loom for Christmas and have made several bands out of carpet warp. It's so much fun! They make awesome hair bands and cat toys.
