Instead of making the 8″ Four Shaft Color & Weave sampler blanket from Janet Phillip’s Exploring Woven Fabrics, I decided to expand the draft into 8 napkins, plus some room for play at the end. This was a fabulous project, I really enjoyed seeing how each wefting was affected by the different light/dark threadings (1×1, 2×2, 4×4).
Of course, now they need cutting, hemming, washing & pressing. The towels I took off the loom in May, 2020 😳 are still awaiting the final hems. Obviously, not my favorite part of the process!

Finally fixed the mistakes, washed and pressed. Overall, fairly pleased. The fold line is crap, but it was my first DW project. Probably should have started smaller 😉
But it will be in Texas in plenty of time for my dad, for Christmas, and hopefully, he’ll love it!

As it’s a gift for my dad, I tried to weave with good thoughts, but it was not easy! If I take this off the loom and it doesn’t completely open up, I cannot be held responsible for what I say. And how much I drink that night. Just sayin’…
