Treadling
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
