Welcome Summer!

Table runner and pillows

Making these designs is pure joy, I hope you enjoy weaving these as much I did.

The threading is straight on four shafts and treadling is also straight; tabby and rep treadles alternat. Weave one pillow with tabby. A small change on the structure makes the fabric surface interesting.

The main colors are light red No. 4, ½-bleached white No. 1 and unbleached No. 0. Change the light red to a silver-gray and you get a new different look.

Weaving tip: Do not use floating selvages, you get even edges if you weave with two shuttles.
