I wove another eighteen inches or so on the Screaming Clashy Bollywood Towel warp last night. It took me all of 40 minutes, but that's the beauty of weaving 20 epi!
I looked around online yesterday for more perle cotton. I was about to buy it from the place I bought the perle cotton for the project I'm currently weaving off, but I wasn't thrilled by dealing with them (their prices, as it turns out, were much higher than other places, and they omitted several colors from my order, and when I called them to ask them to send the remainder of the order, the guy I spoke with apparently didn't believe me, and gave me heaps of attitude. And he sounded/behaved very drunk/drunkenly when I called). So I'm not buying from them anymore...why give business to the mean, rude, or greedy?
So I ordered from the Yarn Barn in Kansas. Much nicer service.
This time, I have ordered more of the 'pistachio' yarn, and bright jewelly purple. And I also ordered two 1-pound cones of natural undyed perle cotton, some of which I will dye with indigo, weaving some kitchen towels suggested by the 'Perugia Towels' from the Renaissance period, that is, mostly natural-colored, with a couple of highly-patterned stripes woven with indigo-dyed weft.
