Sampler Hands Towels pg 8 Weavers Craft Issue 13 4H LeClerc
Medico Table loom Basic twill threading and various treadling for
the Patterns.
8/9 calculated warp needed for 3 towels and have warp measured
Per pattern suggestion I need 67.5 inches plus 12 inches min’ for
loom waste. Which gets me 2.2 yards. I decided to make it 3 yards just
in case. I had about 6" more than I needed maybe.
Needed all of one cone and only a few yards of the other for the warp. Hardly used any of the colors.
8/10 Loom is warped. I had to correct a few errors and make some
heddles :P I have started weaving but I’m, not get the ppi suggested.
The best I’m doing is about 13 pp on the tabby. Maybe it will get better
after I have woven more?
8/11 Took out all the weaving and tightened the warp and re-did the header yarn. Now I am getting closer 16 ppi. I looks much better. Need 2
good beats to the the weft just right.
On loom after weaving I’m getting 13” width so I have a take in of
one inch so far. I still find selvages with tabby difficult. There was
pull in on basket weave.
I love your diary of weaving, great idea. I'm going to do that with a project I'm just starting.
The towels are lovely. They look great. Are you using them or are they a gift?

Thanks for the kudos. I'm pretty happy with them. They have been in use for the last few days. I can't wait to start another project.
I agree! The diary is a good idea to help stay on track and to get the project completed.
I love the colors and the variations on these. Great Job! It looks like you've had them up for a while, but this is the first time I've seen them!
