My loom has been warped for months now with another set of
handspun cotton dish towels. I had finished one set last year and
thought it would be great to use up all my handspun cotton that
has been in my stash. Besides, I could just tie on another
warp and pull through--lazy me!
There are small bits of this and that--some brown cotton
plied with white. Some with white cotton and hand dyed
indigo cotton.
And then--you would think there would be enough yarn
for the loom--but, my brain doesn't function that way--
I thought I had enough--and I did to WARP but
not for weft--oh bother! There are times more needs to
be spun--here is a small ball of handspun brown and
blue dyed cotton--don't you have any idea how long
it takes to spin a bobbin of cotton? Neither did I--
of course, I'm an optimist and yes, there was enough
in the stash for weft--NOT!
it takes time to spin and ply what is needed...
Here is woven areas--looks great! Loving the feel
and the pattern that is generated just with plain weave.

Behind the loom there still seems to be miles and miles
of unwoven warp--does it multiply during the night or
when I'm away from the loom?
