- Weaving - Tea Towels for Erin’s “Fruity Wedding” (as proclaimed by Erin)
I thought it’d be fun to just wing my own simple tea towel draft - in pursuit of learning how to weave - while simultaneously destashing some of the bright cottons that came with the Mira loom I recently purchased on Marketplace. I felt it was fitting as a gift for my niece’s self-proclaimed "fruity wedding” in August and hope she loves it.
I’m proud to say only one thread snapped this project (and I don’t know how because my tension was pretty good) and my selvages are fairly consistent too. If I could change one thing, I’d have left more space between each towel so the fringes are longer. However, moving forward, I’d like to hem the ends with my sewing machine because I’m sensing constant washing will only cause damage otherwise.
There are a couple of strands left to snip and tuck (I’m noticing some escaped the hemstitch!), but otherwise all I have left to do is wash and get those creases out.
When’s the next weaving swap happening?!
