Tomorrow is regularly scheduled May meeting.
Phyllis is teaching us Swedish weaving. Toweling and needles provided. Look in your stash for some suitable threads to use - 6-12 strands of floss, #3 or #5 perle cotton or multiple strands of #8.
The project is a dish towel and if you intend to use it your threads should be colorfast. You
will need about 3 skeins of floss using all 6 strands for the towel.
Some interesting websites with information on this technique:
The Swedish Weave Connection
Avery Hill Designs
All Fiber Arts
Nettie's Needleworks
and of course, Nordic Needle
