Notes

Warp

75” long
8 x 15 =120 ends.
16” wide in heddle.
White
Pale yellow
Red
Hot green
Mod green
Sage
Red to center.

I didn’t have enough left in some colors to make the warp symmetrical, so I changed it up in the second half.

7-28-25

Wove the first washcloth.
Used white on the ends, and lime and red in between.

The warp was 16” “in the reed”. I measured it as I wove, but I forgot to write it down. Oops.

I wove until the piece measured about 15.5” under tension and then wove my hem.

No, I didn’t wash them before I hemmed them.

Yes, I machine hemmed them. Tried using hem clips to hold the hems. But it didn’t work as well as my pins do.

7-29-25

Started the second washcloth using lime green and sage yarns. White on the ends.

7-31-25

Worked on the third washcloth, which is basically lime and red with a center sage stripe.

Thanks

Thanks are due to jeen, who asked me questions and got me to write down the dimensions of the piece as I was weaving. Thanks, jeen.
