Tied On

Plan A - warp and weft were different colors of the same fiber - didn't work, so this is Plan B. The warp is a minty green 8/2 cotton and the weft is an off-white 3/2 organic cotton. I didn't realize until I took this photo that there really is a pattern here. I think I like it . . . . When I told Dick and Marie I was doing a 'name draft' they thought I'd be spelling out words, like in card weaving. I think they were disappointed there weren't "real" letters in the fabric.

I've woven about 10" tonight. I'd do more, but one of the ties holding the warp on the back beam broke and I can't get enough weight on there to keep it tensioned. Gotta wait for Commander Woodshop to fix it in the A.M. Thank goodness for handy hubbies!
