| Summer and Winter Placemat Project | Weaving | ||

Summer and Winter is a very versatile draft. This project uses 8/2 cotton yarn for making reversible placemats.
Placemat Pattern
Threading The Summer/Winter draft was threaded in Blocks as shown below.
I wove these placemats as a sampler, varying the treadling between Singles and Pairs. Finishing Each placemat was woven to a length of 18" on the loom. Handfinishing was done on the loom using Hemstitch finish. Between each placemat, the warp was advanced 2 inches, to allow a fringe. After weaving, I cut the warp from the loom, and put it through a wash and dry cycle in my washer. After washing, I ironed the placemats and trimmed the fringes.
Variation: Chenille Towels
