I love to weave! Can't help it - I love to create fabric, rugs, towels & even washcloths! I really love the new to me Harrisville Loom! A rug made from t-shirts and mixed warp threads (using up the leftover threads)
Washcloths wove on a Cricket Rigid Heddle Loom using Peaches & Cream cotton yarn and a knitting needle to raise the wept threads so I would get the texture of a piled washcloth.
I took a class and did a pink plaid piece similar to Saori Weaving (on right)! Really frees you up to use any yarn and you just go with it. I went home on the first day and warped up for the next weaving (on left) - just picked threads I liked and warped up - did not worry about what the fiber was, just what I liked. No plan in the weaving of colors so I did not have to keep up the plaids. Love it - was going to cut and make a vest & possibly a messenger bag but so far I have only used it as a shaw. The pink Saori Weaving is a wall hanging now. I might cut one of them when the time is right...lol
