I worked this in cotton and silk. The cotton was a selection of Wendy Supreme 100% luxury cotton DK and the silk was a lovely variegated yarn in roughly the same colours. I chose to do a plain weave so I got lots of tension practise.
I warped up using multi colours and for the weft used my yarns doubled (two colours).
I inserted some merino tops for a bit of variety.
The finished piece measures 87cm x 29cm and will make a lovely table runner.
This is anything but boring because of the array of colours. Variety was achieved with the multicoloured warp and the decision to use two colours of thread for the weft.
