Scrap Happy November

tea towels – hot off the loom

they’re not finished – waiting to be hemmed, washed and trimmed

warp threads were all small cones of leftover cotton yarns

it was difficult to arrange a colour sequence that was pleasing

the yarn ran out in the pink stripe and there are a few threads of a different shade

the weft threads – (used for the weaving) are cotton and linen

they are a different pastel in each towel

using up whatever weights and colours from the stash that were compatible

there are still leftover colours – scraps

and a pile of thrums

for non-weavers these are the warp yarns left on the loom which are impossible to weave

every weaver has thrums – I use them for stitching and sometimes weaving

but they seem to multiply over night – more scraps!
