Looking around the weave studio here, I noticed a loom set up for plain weave with a warp of neutral coloured linen and cotton warp yarns, crammed and spaced in the reed. It soon became apparent that it had been left behind by a previous artist weaver. Another ‘leaving’.
The warp was crying out to be used, otherwise it would just end up being cut off and left in one of the boxes that occupy all corners.
I searched around and gathered up anything in neutral colours, all the bobbins, warp ends, and left over yarns that had been left behind.
I have woven them into a length, using each quantity as it came to hand, I introduced cut ends of lengths that were not long enough to make a complete pick to add texture and the result is quite pleasing.
I shall take this length home with me but leave behind some weaving for someone else to continue.
