Yarn
Yarn: Handspun Yarn
Color: variegated
Type: weft
Loom
Number of Shafts: 
12
Notes: 

My neighbor Martha borrowed a loom as she wanted to weave with her handspun. She provided knitting yarn for the warp. This is her first woven project, and she was fast and had great selvedges from the get-go! She also developed a great feel for obtaining consistent tension when she advanced the warp. Martha is a potter, and I thought her piece looked spectacular with some of her hand made pots.

Martha treadled this project in plain weave, but is considering Anne Dixon's Handweaving Pattern Directory for treadling options on her next project.
