Dish rags

Hi Everyone & Nancy 

I never said how much peaches and cream I have, 2 cases 48 of the large cones all natural, 3 baby blanket blue. I bought it at a second hand store on half price day 4 years ago. for $2.00 a spool. I don't have a stash, a stash, fits in a closet. I will call my stash, a load I have a duplex and a third-floor walk-up attic. 

I have read all of the posts that have been posted. pros/cons, I am going to just used the natural not the blue, because it will fade. 

I am not going to make dish rags. with the peaches and cream. Some place mats. 

Nancy, I am going to use the second pattern, the one with the chickens on the top of the page.  It will be just perfect. It will make "squares" I like to weave squares the best of all. The peaches and cream will kind of pop up a little where the warp is not tied down giving the place mats a little depth. 

I have a loom almost empty. I have to stop making 50-yard warps, I can do more pattern weaving, with shorter warps. 

Thank You Everyone

I was just going to suggest that. It will eat up a lot of yarn and it won’t matter if the blue fades. Any babies in your world?
