Simpler is Better!

This week I finally got the 12/3 warp re-threaded for a much simpler design.  I had started with this design, which was nice, but it just seemed too busy for me!  It set my mind to re-threading, and so I did, a couple of times, but I got it right!   I basically took out the center patterns and substituted twill.  It makes a cool pattern as I kept the three twill changes.  I started weaving the pattern in white, I thought it would be pretty, but I couldn't see the design!  I switched to a darker weft to do a pattern check.

If you don't count the treadling error, everything was great! I switched back to white and started my towel/napkin not sure which yet!   After an inch of plainweave, I began to envy Carol and her yards of plainweave fabric, and I thought of my favorite towels from the store, simple plain weave, then I thought, why not!  I have hundreds of yards of this warp, let's take a look!

Isn't it beautiful, almost serene!  I say that for today, the fancy stuff can wait, simpler is better! 

Until next time, Happy Weaving, Tina
