I have now woven and finished the final piece on this warp – another blanket. This is slightly larger than the other blanket – 8 weft pattern repetitions as opposed to 6 weft pattern repetitions. This allowed me to use all warp possible remaining on the loom.
I hemstitched on 1,2 in dazzling blue, wove 1,2 in dazzling blue to square the corner block (20 picks), 8 repetitions of the pattern, 1 pick of honeysuckle on 1 to end pattern, then 2,1 in dazzling blue to square the corner block (20 picks) and hemstitched with dazzling blue on 2,1.
The fabric was cut from the loom, washed in the machine on a normal cycle with warm water, loose ends trimmed, rolled with a lint roller and pressed with a hot iron. I hung the fabric to dry overnight.
