Sample #2 for my Big and Little Brother Blankets
- Yarns: Hobby Lobby Baby Bee Sweet Delight
- Yarn size: sport weight
- Sett: 10 e.p.i.
- PPI: 10
- Structure: Plain weave
- Pattern: Every third warp end is solid green. The other two and the weft are the multi-color variegated yarn.
- Width
- on loom: 15.5 inches
- after finishing: 14 inches
- Length: since it's a sample, I didn't measure the length
- Wet finishing: same as sample #1
- Weaving notes:
- When I measured the warp, I used two variegated skeins starting with the same color, so the colors were wound in pairs.
- Other than that, I didn't line up the yarn's color changes for either warp or weft in any planned way; the color changes were long enough to create the plaid look as it is.
It definitely has a different look than sample #1.

| close-up of sample #2 |
The solid green stripes break up areas of solid color. Even though I didn't
plan the plaid, you can see from the first photo that a definite repeatable
plaid emerges from simply using the yarn as it comes off the skein.
I like plaids, but I think the close-up view is more interesting than see it
from afar.
