It started so well, and it all turned out okay. Eventually.
So, ALL that warp fell onto the floor behind my loom and I had to get it back on. I pulled all of it back through the reed towards the front, and then wound it back onto the back beam. This is what it looked like:
And that's the lovely tension I had to fix. I had to untie and retie it on the front beam several times.
Eventually:
Aren't they pretty? I called them the Providential Color Cotton towels. I love the texture of them, too. My fingers like the up-and-downness of it.
So, that's done. Next is a pair of corduroy-striped cotton throw pillows.
