The end result was in no way compromised by it. Instead, it was enhanced by it. I am sure that you will not be disappointed by the end result.<BR/>I love the idea of the elastics on the "do not use" treddles!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545713753520362397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-7723223511267842642007-08-27T10:18:00.000-05:002007-08-27T10:18:00.000-05:00Plastic paint sticks!

I did this once. Only once. <BR/>It would take much less effort, and be more rewarding, to get undyed yarn, make a warp, and paint it yourself. You can, I believe, even buy dyes with all the additives in them.

Probably this has to do with the fact that I love these colors. <BR/><BR/>Laritza, this shuttle is wonderful for medium to heavy yarns. I'm able to get 12 inches worth of weaving from one filling of it, compared to the three inches I got out of a 6 inch bobbin and boat shuttle!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-45330552369618234752007-08-26T12:12:00.000-05:002007-08-26T12:12:00.000-05:00Lovely!Lovely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-63006693386462639562007-08-26T11:37:00.000-05:002007-08-26T11:37:00.000-05:00It's beautiful Leigh!
