I wound the prettiest 7 yard warp for my Louet table loom. It has Tan, Grey, Burgundy and a variegated blue. Together the colors just melted. Beautiful.
Now, the beautiful warp is on my Louet loom ready to start weaving. But, now it's dull and rather dark. I had planned to use the tan thread as the weft on the first scarf. It doesn't work. There's no punch. Shee! Frustrating! So, I'm stash diving! Trying several colors at a time trying to find the color that will make the first scarf shine! I've just put a totally different thread on it now in a 3/1 twill. The top's interesting, but the bottom isn't at all. Hmm. I'm going to go to bed and try again tomorrow. Maybe I'll try a 2/2 twill instead using that new thread. Some days, I feel so confident about my color combination selections. Then, there are days like today when I have problems with basic colors! Great way to start a new warp!
