Notes

For 10 years I have not had the time and inclination to weave on my loom. I finally decided it was time to weave cloth to make project bags in prep to make cloth to make clothes. Dove into the acrylic stash and found a Mandala yarn I used for the Warp and wove with Red Heart in the weft. The colors were darn near identical.

I wove with a 10 dent heddle and the finished cloth was 19 inches wide by 47 inches long after hand washing and tossing in the dryer to fluff and dry for a bit. I’m out of practice but I’m not going to need perfect edges and the few mistakes can be avoided as well. I think this will make a fantastic and pretty spring project bag.
