It's always refreshing to begin a new series of rugs with a new color of warp thread! Above you see a picture of 24 cones of poly/cotton warp thread which is needed to begin weaving on either one of my two looms. I had a very successful garage sale expedition last Friday in which I found lots of great cotton fabric. And I was especially happy to find a variety of reds in which I will use in my first rug after my loom is warped with the black..
I had no idea how long it was going to take for the new warp thread to arrive; so I warped my old loom with a combination of beige and sage green to make a couple of table runners. Hopefully, I will begin work on that tomorrow with a nice cotton sheet torn in strips. Below you will see the loom with the fabric I'm going to use. I can hardly wait!!
