The very start of the warp. I don't often do finger fringe because I find it slow and tedious. I do like the effect though.

I used a much finer thread for the inlay of the little square on the lower right.

Notes

Purchased the Twighlight Fuschia Cotton Warp - SAORI Pre-wound warp - 200 threads x 6m on February 20th, 2019.

Weft is weaving cotton purchased from Camilla Valley Farms over the years, both mercerized and unmercerized have been included. It’s mostly 2/8 but some 2/10 and 2/16 were also used.

Travelling inlay was done using ordinary “kitchen cotton”, the kind used for knitting dishcloths. The entire 6m woven length took less than two balls (for just the inlay).

A 1st place ribbon was won in the “woven yardage” category at Chilliwack’s 2019 Exhibition.
