Treadling

I used a combination of treadling sequences in these placemats to create different sized blocks and shapes. Try treadling both the singles and pairs versions of treadling as shown in the Summer/Winter draft.

Finishing

Hem stitch the ends of each placemat while they are on the loom. Advance the warp 3 inches between each placemat, to allow sufficient length for a cut fringe.

Alternate Weft

For another variation of Summer/Winter, try using cotton chenille for the weft. I think these would make excellent towels.
