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″.
