Before I actually started taking out the mop yarn I finished the edge with a straight stitch and a zig-zag stitch.
The mop yarn is taken out and it's all ready to have the fringe cut off.
I decided to leave a bit of a fringe on the edge. It's washed and dried. The yarn closed nice and tight almost like felting but not quite that tight. It feels soft like a baby blanket.
Even tho it's just a sampler it's found a home on my table.
Now I can't wait to start the next project.
Gorgeous!!! You did good!!!

Gorgeous colors! Looks great with that napkin holder. I think I have the same one somewhere around this place. :)

Oh, so gorgeous! I know if I ever learned to weave and had a loom that I would be hooked for life.

Oh my, your work is absolutely gorgeous! I am so intrigued by this. Does the Deborah Chandler book outline the same thing you are doing in class? How big are your looms?
When we lived up in Iowa, our daughter had a wonderful art teacher in 2nd grade who had the kids doing all kinds of interesting little weaving projects. Our daughter really loved it and my husband made her a lap-sized wooden peg loom. We haven't had it out in a long time. I keep wishing that we lived somewhere close enough to civilization so that we could take classes. Sounds like so much fun!
