Notes

11-14-2023

Make like the blue ones, only use sage green yarn.
Try using 2 heddles and 3 shafts.

Warp Calculations 02-15-2024

Two (2) 7.5 dpi heddles.

3 yds, 12” = 110”, length
7.5 * 15 ~= 114 ends
110 * 114 = 12,540. About 350 yds warp.

15” wide. 7 1/2” each side.
5-stitch borders

Pick-up pattern:
3-end weft floats, p/u 1, over 3, ending p/u 1.

——-

Warp 9-6-2024

Place 2 ends in each slot for plain weave.
Wind on.

Place every other end in the hole for shaft 3.

———
Place 2nd heddle in front position.
If both ends are in a slot, place the first one in a hole.
If one of the next 2 ends is threaded in shaft 3, both ends go in a slot.

Tie 1” bunches in simple knot towards the ends of the ends.

Lash on.

On second thought, I am going to go back to tying on in groups of 8 (4 & 4).

That’s much better.

First washcloth:
3/1 lace:
1 & 2 down.
1 & 2 up.
1 & 2 down.
1 up 2 neutral (every 4th weft is up).
