I tend to go for more saturated colors. I usually have at least one really saturated color against some neutrals, but that isn&#8217;t happening here.<\/p>\n<p>That said, to my recollection, this project didn&#8217;t take that long to do. I believe that is mostly because I love working with this yarn, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/brownsheep.com\/cf.htm\">Cotton Fine from Brown Sheep<\/a>. It is my default yarn for weaving baby blankets. I have always gotten good results from it, with the final fabric having a wonderful hand. This is woven using 3\/1 &#8211; 1\/3 twill blocks, with the warp sett at 16 e.p.i.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/cotton-fine-throw-close-up.jpg\" title=\"Baby blanket\/throw close-up\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.textillian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/cotton-fine-throw-close-up.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Baby blanket\/throw close-up\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, I don&#8217;t let people choose the colors for their gifts anymore. I will ask them to give me ideas of colors that they might like, but I will add and subtract from there because the project has to have some visual interest for me to keep my attention so that the project doesn&#8217;t languish on the loom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reference This throw was made as a wedding present a few years back.
