This was Megan's first experience weaving on a floor loom.
She wove three Cotton Slub towels. Warp: Cotton Slub in Natural and Daffodil Yellow; sett was 10 epi. Weft: same as warp with additional hand-dyed, variegated cotton slub in orange/green/red/gold. Hems were woven with 8/2 natural cotton.
Nice work, Megan!
PS: Cotton Slub in Natural and 8 colors are offered at R&M Yarns under "Regular Stocked" yarns.
This was Betty's second weaving workshop at the R&M Yarns Studio.
She wove a rug for under her piano bench. The warp was 2 shades of blue rug wool and the weft was a 4-ply heavy, natural wool. Pattern was tabby and sett @ 8 epi. She used a ski shuttle for the weft.
Nice work, Betty!
PS: she learned that a dark warp is hard to see when sleying the reed and threading the heddles. Thus the "design elements" you see in the rug that make it even more special!
Karyn wove these cotton check towels as her very first weaving project in August of 2023 in a 3-day weaving workshop at R&M. She used R&M's Cotton Slub in Admiral Blue and Daffodil Yellow, sett at 10 epi.
She wanted to match her French-themed placemats--I think she did a great job!
Cotton Slub Colors; also available in natural, undyed.
Brown Sheep Nature Spun "China Blue" and "Gray Heather" Wool woven in Houndstooth Pattern on 4 Shaft Floor Loom during a 2021 Weaving Class. One cone each of Blue and Gray used for warp & weft (with some left over); 4 yards; 8 epi and about 22" in the reed.
Purse is "fulled" from left-over warp on loom.
Thank you for sharing, Betty. Beautiful and just in time for Winter!
