Weaving with Hemp (and other stuff)
I have a lot of Hemp/Cotton worsted weight yarn on hand and planned to knit dishcloths.
Unfortunately, it's very stiff and hurts my hands when I knit it.
So I decided to create some weaving samples.
This is just the first batch. I still have the Hemp/Cotton warp on the Cricket
and will photograph the others when I complete them.
The weft on these is mostly crochet cotton (several strands held together).
I have a large stash of this stuff that was given to me and I'm trying to use it up.
A little creative hemstitching...
And my favorite -
Same warp but I hand painted it with textile markers
and wove it with a thinner white cotton I had on hand.
