Blanket warp

Jun 07, 2013 09:21




I finished my blanket warp! I think I mentioned to you guys I was busy last few months. Boy, have I been. I've been working on two book projects mainly, getting close to finishing at last (and that also means I'll go back to other projects that are almost done and finish them before going on to something new--so it's feast time after the famine). Also, I wove my rug and then decided to try to create a mostly handspun blanket. So I've been using my old spinning wheel and producing yarn. It took a while to get it uniform enough to be in the ball park to go through the heddles of the blanket warp. I won't get to tie on until September, so I don't know how effective this warp is yet. I do find the colors interesting though because honestly, you do it in bunches and you don't see it as a whole until you spread it out. Mostly it seems to be shades of reds and brown-plums with lighter blues, pinks and greens shooting through it. I think this is exactly what I wanted though I had no idea until I got to this point.
