Rigid Heddle Rustic Placemats Too (2013)

Pattern: Plain Weave

Yarns: Sakura Cotton (by Estelle Yarns) for weft; Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Ultrasoft for warp
Method: Weaving
Completed: December 10, 2013.

This was a second warp to repeat a project on my rigid heddle loom (Schacht Flip, 15"; used 8 dent reed, 112 ends) -- four more placemats!. The Sakura Cotton is a very slow changing variegated yarn, so I made sure to wind/rewind the yarn on the shuttle so that cut ends would line up (and colours would continue evenly). Used about 4 balls of the Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, and about 2/3 of one skein of the Sakura Cotton.

Wove the placemats to 18", left about 1" between placemats. Sewed down the ends before washing. After washing -- placemats measure 11.5" x 14.5".
