Pretty yarn...


My next project was an experience in failure....well not really failure, but learning what not to do. I had hand dyed some wool yarn a couple of years back and had never put it to use for anything. I figured I would use it as warp with some plain 8/2 weaving cotton yarn as weft. Yeah...I should have reversed that notion. About 8 inches into the project I had broken 5 warp threads and was tired of dealing with a super sticky shed. So...off the loom it came. I serged around the edges of my tiny sample and braided up the remaining warp to use another day. I'll break it out to use as weft at some point....or I'll just stare at it the bucket....either way....
