One photo of the 'spring' scarfs.  Hand dyed greens with variegated pink stripes.
I'm not thrilled with these - -  



Orange stripe 8/2 cotton warp from Oralee.  Wish I hadn't used the brown looking color.  5 colors plus natural.  Wefts varied from flake to orange same as warp.  One photo on the loom and the other off the loom but not washed.

     must be the last one - - there is a line of 'fraycheck'.



Had a terrible time with the loom (see previous post).  Was able to weave off the 4 remaining towels in the same amount of time it had taken to weave towel #1.

Blue stripe 8/2 cotton warp - - also from Oralee.  4 blues with pale blue stripes in between.  Wefts are one natural and one blue flake plus 3 blues from the warp.

April has come and gone . . . .
Finally finished the green scarf warp with the variegated stripes shown March 16th.  Photos later.
In the first part of April, Angela and I went to Oralee's to get the yarn from the attic.  We got 2/3 to 3/4 of if down and loaded into our cars.  Freda helped get part of it out of the car and then I sorted it by color.  Put most of it in the front hall on shelves borrowed from upstairs.  Selected several orange/rust colors to weave kitchen towels.  Got the color order worked out and decided that since I'm going to do several towel warps, the extra heddles needed to be removed.
Worked several days winding the warp.  Made many mistakes trying to get it beamed - trying a different procedure.  After rolling forward, then back, it was threaded, tied on and ready to weave.  With great difficulty towel #1 was woven.  In taking the heddles off, the harnesses weren't put back in the same order. (don't know how when I thought I was being so careful)  Harness 3 was catching on Harness 2.  Took over a week to get that towel woven and I couldn't stand the thought of trying to do 4 more the way it was.  So - - towel #1 was cut off.  Was going to turn H 3 around and re-thread 1 thru 3, but after a quick review, just took H 2 off and turned it. (now 1-3 are reversed) Treadled quite a few tabbies to see if that was going to work and not once did it catch or sound like it rubbed.  Only had to re-thread H 1 and 2 - - much better than having to do 3.
Got the warp re-threaded, dented and tied on to the front beam.  (front tie-on cords needed some repair which entailed shortening all the cords to match one that had been damaged)  At 5:30 towel #2 was started (orange flake). Wow! what a difference.  By 6:15 it was done (over 500 picks).  Started towel #3 (beige flake) and even with a short break it was done by 7:15pm. Started towel #4 (white flake) and got 12" done.  Should be able to finish it in the morning.
