This waffle yardage was the next project after Ketchup & Mustard. The draft works well and is satisfying to weave so I simply wanted to continue with more of the same.
Lately, making use of yarns already on hand has been a recurring theme
among my weaving friends. Collecting yarn is easier than weaving with it and we
are mostly of “a certain age”. Also, sadly, the members of our guild are aging
and leaving yarns for us to weave in their honor. Thus we are busily working to make the most of what we have while we can. I suppose it's a grains of sand in the hour glass type of goal.
Here I chose 16/2 dark
teal green cotton, combining it with 20/2 black perle cotton and a 20/2 cotton
variegated yarn. The teal colored yarn came from the estate of Lynn, a late guild member. She will not be soon forgotten.
The woven piece is yardage.
Happily, I used a lot of yarn to weave it. Now what have I been mentioning
about getting around to sewing?

Christmas is nipping at our heels and there is still much to be
done. I have been busy weaving Cottolin towels. Yet, there are warps between
the waffles and the towels. After I take photos I’ll write about my adventures
with Taqueté and Samitum.
Merry Christmas!
