Rigid-Heddle Project #16: Summer Sungolds (digital download)
This project explores pattern, color, and movement through the placement of the lace blocks in combination with weft colors.

The pattern is for (2) 20”x23” table squares (on loom). Finished size (after hemming and washing) is 17”x20”. The pattern includes directions for adjusting to make narrower or wider, longer or shorter.
The four tubes of yarn is enough to make at least six table squares (best on more than one warp). You can make more if you have some flexibility for placement of weft colors.
Equipment needed: (1) 12 dent heddle, (1) pick-up stick, and stick shuttles (4 is ideal but you can use less).
Warp is doubled through the heddle, and weft is doubled when winding shuttles.
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).
