Warp In Waiting


I always like to have a "warp in waiting" when I'm working on a floor loom project so that when I finish up, I can jump right into a new one. However, my stock of threads (well, of colour choices) was getting rather low because my supplier has been out of stock for some time. They are beginning to restock now, but it set me to thinking that I should use what I have, and then replace the colours I use most frequently. Another factor to consider was that a friend just bought me out of every single towel and placemat I had in my stash, excluding those I was reserving for gifts! With that to inspire me, I decided to make towels. I took inventory of what was in my stash, discovered that I had two cones of the same blue, so rather than using cream or white for plain-weave stripes, I decided to use the blue instead. It will really make the coloured texture stripes pop. I'm roughly a third done with the second iteration of "Cornerstones," and I think it's time to do something simpler than overshot.
