Not a lot to report today, but I did finish the second fulled lap robe:
I agitated this one a little longer after the initial soak (11 minutes instead of 7), and it is definitely a little more dense, although not overly so (not felted).
I am really pleased with the colors – seven shades of Shetland 2-ply across the warp, plus the red stripe down the middle of each of those. I really had to work out the number of ends in each stripe ahead of time, because not all the colors were a full skein. A good scale is the weaver’s friend! The weft was a heathered green with gold overtones. I used a twill-and-tabby treadling this time. You can see it better in the close-up of the fabric before fulling:
Lap robe 3 came off the loom last night and I should have it finished up sometime next week.
This is a very nice looking project! I love the pattern that you used, especially the red stripes down the centers of the other stripes. It looks so soft and warm! What was the finished size?
Thanks, Amanda. It was 38″ x 67″ off the loom before fulling, and then 31″ x 54″ after fulling.
