I started this project to add to the number of napkins I had after the exchange with the Guild and to use the yarn that I had left over. I changed the draft from what we were given in the workshop. I added ends to the corner motif and the center motif to enlarge them to fit the 600 ends I needed to match the size of the first napkins. The warp went on well, and I will be weaving a blue and a gold napkin in each of the three tie-ups that I am using. This will give some variation to the napkins.
I am doing all three tie-ups based on the 3/2/1/2 twill tie up. Since the treadling is the same on all the napkins (tromp as writ) there will be variation but a relationship between them. The three tie-ups are great, it is hard to believe that they are all based on the same twill line, just shifted a little.
