Cotton – Orlon – Linen
Last night I sorted all threads, yarns, and cloth that I had received with the two looms I purchased last winter/spring. Better aware of what these are I disposed of lesser quality products. I was quite happy that I had as many warp threads as I do. There is a preponderance of cotton. There are a few spools of orlon, and four of linen. Most of the coloured thread is cotton, with some wool and synthetics. I have a good amount of waft wool from Holland. The cotton spools will be good for me to practise on this winter before I move into wool. Again, quite a haul of free materials; it seems that when people want to get out of weaving, they are happy to get rid of everything. Which can be good fortune for those who are buying used looms
