Notes

putting on 12 yards just in case takeup is more than I estimated for.

used about 3lbs of yarn for warp.

432 Ends for pattern. Pattern is point twill with a 6 end repeat that has 1 thread on shaft 1, 2 on shad 2, 2 on shaft 3, and 1 on shaft 4.

Shaft 1: 1 of 6 threads = 432x(1/6) = 72 ends
Shaft 2: 2 of 6 threads = 432x(2/6) = 144 ends
Shaft 3: 2 of 6 threads = 432x(2/6) = 144 ends
Shaft 4: 1 of 6 threads = 432x(1/6) = 72 ends

Blanket #1: Yellow baby blanket for Paula. Point twill treadling. Wove to 46 3/8” using temple. 28.75”x36.25” after first wash/dry.

Blanket #2: Burnt Orange Car Blanket for Sonja. Wove to 52.75” using temple. 29”x42” after first wash and dry.

Blanket #3: Parakeet blanket. Weaving without the homemade temple to see if there is a significant difference from blanket 1 and 2. Wove to 46.5”. 30”x36” after first wash and dry.

cut off to wash and sew first three blankets

Blanket #4: rainbow car blanket for Diane - made a miscalculation on the stripes. Weaving to 79”. Eek. Sewn to 31”x43.5” - cut off the yellow, some orange, and some green to get it to size.

Blanket #5: green baby blanket in M’s and W’s for Debbie - wove to 53” , sewn to 29”x40.5”
Blanket #6: gold baby blanket for Debbie - wove to 53”, sewn to 29”x40.5”
