Pot holders

Pot holders or dish cloths from Lily's Sugar'n Cream (Natural Stripes and White) on a Looper Loom.








One ball of yarn - but two different results.


Or even three...

Linen towels. First year with Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom 9/9

Wanted to weave something badly. Had one ball of linen and one ball cotton/linen.
Got three small dish towels in no time.

KnitPicks scarf. First year with Schacht Flip rigid heddle loom 8/9

One year after my first project on Rigid heddle loom (plaid scarf) I decided to weave another better one using different yarns.

I chose KnitPicks Comfy Fingering cotton/acrylic blend. It was an excellent choice: great colours, warm and very soft.

First step in totally hand-made socks

I am done with the first stage of creating my absolutely hand-made socks.
The wool has been spun!

The journey started when I bought some grey wool top which I decided to combine with natural wool top from my beginner's spinning kit into two-ply yarn.

Some gray



Some natural

Singles


Plied


My very first cake of yarn (50g)


To be continued.... (socks to follow).

Rosepath towels

Sooner or later it should have happened.
I ran out of the warp before the end of the last towel.
So what? It does not make the towel any worse, just a bit shorter.

For the Rosepath towels I used draft from Weavezine using 8/2 non-mercerized white cotton.

Lavender

Tulips
Daisies
Cichorium
