I have a weakness for coned yarn, bargain yarn, yarn in someone’s estate (it was probably well-loved and needs a new home, right?), yarn that I might be able to do something with when no one else sees the potential. So I have lots of “rescued” yarn. I need to use it or at least swatch it to decide if it should be kept or not. So here are my goals for this:
Q1 Goals
- Dish towel warp using colors I like. Done. 2328 yds.
- Dish towel warp using colors I don’t love. Done. 2898 yds.
- Baby blanket using the thicker cotton cones. Done. 1128 yds warp, 1662 yds weft.
- Swatch for spring sweater using linen cones.Done. Four swatches, love them all! Want to cast on now!*
- Weave at least one of the dishtowel warps by March 31. Finished! Estimated 1430 yards of weft was used!
Not in the original goals, but I used coned yarn for a baby vertebrae sweater that is complete. 220 yards
Total Yards Used: 9,666!
- but casting on will have to wait until I have some WIPs off the list!
