Pattern:Plain Weave
Yarns: Sakura Cotton (by Estelle Yarns) for weft; Bernat
Handicrafter Cotton Ultrasoft for warp Method: Weaving Completed: August
25,
2013.
This was a project on my rigid heddle loom (Schacht Flip,
15"; used 8 dent reed, 112 ends). 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".
You can see the colour
progression between placemats ("in order").
Other 3 placemats

Warp-focus -- on the loom, and thend all stretched out on the
