these colours make me smile every time I look at my loom.

My take on Parrot, so far. Warp is five wide stripes alternating navy/peacock, peacock/fuchsia, fuchsia/hot pink, hot pink/pale orange, pale orange/apricot with narrow single-color stripes in between and on sides. Here are the towels I've made playing around on the first part of my warp:
Well done, Joan! 👏👏👏

And a shawl on the same warp, resleyed to 16 epi.
You are on a roll, Joan!!!!!
I'm impressed with your color choices and your lack of draw in on the selvedges. How long have you been weaving?
Hi Kit, the color choices are from the kit for Season 2 Episode 5. I just rearranged them in the warp. I do have draw-in on the selvedges, but I don't worry about it. My selvedges have improved after watching how Jane handles the shuttle. I have been weaving for six years now, and I still can't believe my luck at finding such an awesome hobby!

Thanks so much for posting your gamp. I just finished my first tea towels and made up the colors I chose based on the pattern for Inspiration from a Sari on Jane's website.
Ooooh, I love those, too. I'll have to keep that color combination in mind. I'm still not completely comfortable with choosing colors, but maybe I can just lift the combinations from Jane's kits!

Just finished the parrot warp - loved the colours and playing with clasped weft!

Looking awesome, Jill! Love your clasped weft sample!
Hello, did you weave on the "Jane", an 8 harness table loom? A friend lent me an 8 harness table loom and I was curious if it's hard to get through all the towels on that loom. I have a 4h Leclerc floor loom and it's currently occupied.
Wow, what a workshop/studio. I am envious.

I’m trying to order yarn from a distributor of Brassard (I’m in the US, it’s easier for me to buy locally). Do you know what the Brassard names are for Apricot & Hot Pink? Thanks!
Apricot is color number 3161 Jaune or and Hot pink is color number1330 Rose foncé . Hope this helps.
