For the Cotton Bouclé towel kits - do you weave the hem with the boucle'. I assumed you did, but the finishing directions says to roll them hem to where the boucle' starts. So, I wasn't sure. Wow this yard breaks easily! I'm also not used to such an open weave - I'm keeping to the 12 ppi - I assume it will tighten up a lot with finishing? Thanks! learning a lot!
Cotton Bouclé towels
Hi JoEllen,
Just wondering what reed were you using for the Boucle?
Yes the yarn will bloom when your towels are washed :) They are favourites in my home. Like Patti, I also use the cotton boucle for the hems.
I'm using a 6 dent reed, double sleyed. This is also the first real warp (I did an 8/2 sample warp) on a new to me loom I'm refurbishing - so I'm learning the loom as well and still fixing things I didn't know needed it. So lots to learn!
Folks respond so quickly in this forum and are so much help - THANK YOU!
So glad the forum is helpful! Thinking about your threads breaking, can you release the tension just a tiny bit to see if that helps? That's great that you are using a 6 dent reed, this reed size is so much gentler on the boucle yarn.
