I took part in the tea towel weaving workshop in February. I had a fabulous day, everyone was sooo patient and helpful with a newbie. With the aid of my partner I was able to warp up my loom ready to start weaving at home. A quick look and some useful iPad piccies of Carol at work with the pick up sticks and I was off home to start before I could forget what I had learnt. My first effort was far from perfect, but they are definitely teatowels, and they dry dishes! When my daughter saw them, she immediately tried to “borrow” them. Flattered and inspired I went online, sourced what I thought might be a similar cotton yarn and started in a second set for her. Better edges and fewer mistakes this time!
I did prefer the linen cotton mix that Sue provided on the day and she kindly found me another batch which is now on the loom half completed. Thanks again Sue for running this workshop, and the guild for providing me with a loom, I have learnt something totally new and absorbing. Teri Malakouna Comments are closed.
