Day 101: My first halvdräll adventure is off the loom in the form of four towels of varying lengths, and have not been wet-finished yet. I enjoyed the weave structure so much that I measured a second warp in green and yellow, and this time, I will weave them as two pairs identical in their dimensions. The length of the aqua warp was designed to yield only three towels with extra for loom waste, but because I was weaving on the table loom, I had more left over than anticipated. I decided to weave two shorter towels to polish off the remainder rather than a single full-length one. When measuring the new warp, I added an additional half yard to give myself plenty of space. I can't say I'm happy with the red pattern thread here, but it was the only colour which even came close to working with the aqua. The next warp replaces aqua with yellow and natural with forest green. The pattern thread will be a medium dusty green which should show up better on both warp colours. This combination will give me the option of using either the yellow or dark green as the tabby. I will probably make pairs of each.
