The weather's been a little flippy lately. I try to get out on the trail between the raindrops. Yesterday looked like this, but this morning was way too wet for walking.
So I continued working on this loom:
The warp is a combination of brown cotton and burgundy cottolin, end-and-end, and the effect is just like Red Devil chocolate cake. A warm, gooey brown. I wouldn't mind a piece of it right now. If you've never had it, look it up on the interweb. You'll find a million recipes.
The structure is halvdräll, a 4-shaft weave. I'm taking the opportunity of using up some stash. Tabby weft is red cottolin, and adds to the red devil effect. The pattern weft is 2-ply hemp, which had been languishing on the back of a shelf.
The denting (3 per dent in a 10-dent reed) creates some strange effects that look like threading errors, but I expect these will come out in the wash. Click to enlarge. After a couple of washings I think this fabric will soften up and become a very nice bath towel.
