Four-Shaft Project #16: Summer Sungolds (digital download)
This project explores doubleweave, rep weave, changing around the size and placement of their blocks, and what elements are the front or back of their weaving.
Learn more about the Summer Sungolds here.
The project is 20” wide on the loom (plus a bit). It can be sized up or down. A 10-dent reed is strongly recommended.
The four tubes of yarn are enough to make two table squares, or one longer table runner.
Half of the yarn needed for the project is the complimentary color (Bleu Moyen).
I strongly recommend purchasing an extra tube of Bleu Moyen, which will give you enough of everything to make twice what is listed above.
If you want to make the rep weave variation, you will need a tube of 16/8 cotton in either Cayenne or Bleu Moyen (or something similar from your stash).
The pattern uses three colors that are close to each other in a gradient (Cayenne, Orange Pale, Melon), and one color that is complimentary to the other three (Bleu Moyen). If you want to use different colors while maintaining the feel of the original project, I suggest that you use a similar strategy (example: 1512 Jaune Pale, 4273 Mauve Fonce, 5120 Mauve Pale, 5214 Magenta).
