Guild weaving project

At the weekend meeting we found out that the weaver who took the loom after me, to weave her trial dish towel, was unable to because of other things taking up her time.  That meant that the loom came back with my towel as the last one.  We took the opportunity to bring the loom back home and give Anne a chance to try some advanced multi-shaft weaving.

We were able to find some quite nice purple colour - to contrast with the orange that I used.

Anne picked a design that is about 4 times as complicated as the one I did, and has raced ahead and finished about 4 inches in her first session (quickly identifying some of the many problems you can encounter when undertaking these sort of projects).

Notwithstanding - all problems overcome - and excellent results already.  It will be a spectacular towel when it is finished.

With two projects on the go (the rug and now the towel) Anne will be busy - and time for me to do some spinning catch-up.
