I'm enjoying using the table loom more than I imagined, I thought the hand levers would be tedious to use, they aren't, it's fun.<BR/><BR/>I've got one more colour combination with a Noro Kureyon yarn to weave, it's browns and greys, rich chocolate colours. I guess I'd better get on and wind the warp, seeing as everyone will be Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-42218376426482338462009-03-27T09:02:00.000+00:002009-03-27T09:02:00.000+00:00The scarves are beautiful and they reflect a lot o...The scarves are beautiful and they reflect a lot of thought in the arrangement of the colours.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193395027474680289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-75129732039928121912009-03-27T02:49:00.000+00:002009-03-27T02:49:00.000+00:00What a neat temple!

Weave it at a slightly open sett and then full it. It should be beautifully soft with a very slight halo of fuzz. Or, if you want really really soft, do the same thing but spin the yarn yourself!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-79452984403749600272009-03-25T04:35:00.000+00:002009-03-25T04:35:00.000+00:00I love the way these are all coming out!!!I love the way these are all coming out!!!Sunrise Lodge Fiber Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430525418832346974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-19613279843925405612009-03-25T00:44:00.000+00:002009-03-25T00:44:00.000+00:00oooh, noro's singles as warp :-) I might not have ...oooh, noro's singles as warp :-) I might not have risked that, but now I will -- it's lovely.
