Not 2 Square Weavers: Handwoven towels make the best gifts!
http://not2squareweavers.blogspot.com/2011/03/handwoven-towels-make-best-gifts.html
Friday, March 18, 2011. Handwoven towels make the best gifts! March found us tucked inside and warm with the rain pouring down outside. We had lots of people from our group that braved the rain and it was nice to see everyone after having skipped our February meeting. Diana also brought a selection of towels that she will be giving away as gifts as she travels this summer. Waffle weave, plaids, stripes. I love the textures and colors. Gus found a block twill draft for the towels she recently wove. Sh...

Not 2 Square Weavers: Weaving Tips
http://not2squareweavers.blogspot.com/p/weaving-tips.html
Here are a couple of tools in your quest for the correct warp sett. If you have suggestions for more tips, let me know what they are and I'll put them here as a reference for us all. 1 Find yards per pound. 2 Figure the square root of yards per pound. 3 Multiply the square root by .9 to get factor Y. 4 For plain weave, multiply Y by .5 to get maximum sett. For a less dense and more workable sett, multiply the maximum sett by .8. Measuring yards per pound with McMorran Yarn Balance. On warping board or re...

Not 2 Square Weavers: Not 2 Square's Tribute to Dee Jones
http://not2squareweavers.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-2-squares-tribute-to-dee-jones.html
Friday, June 12, 2015. Not 2 Square's Tribute to Dee Jones. The Not 2 Square Weavers lost one of their founding members this past week. The slide show tells a little of Dee Jones' story. The tributes from our members (below) tell more about the woman. The ending photo in the slide show is of Dee when she worked as a fire lookout on Pegleg lookout. In Lassen National Forest with her husband, Pat. He spotted the fires - she called in the coordinates! I marveled at how kindly she corrected the teacher.

Not 2 Square Weavers: Scarves a' la Dee
http://not2squareweavers.blogspot.com/2015/07/scarves-la-dee.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Scarves a' la Dee. The group continues to work on their scarves for the group challenge. When she learned she was too ill to finish her challenge scarf, Dee asked Beryl to take the yarns she had chosen. Beryl wove three scarves with the yarn. The first scarf is a turned twill - one of Dee's "Go To" structures. The weft on this one is the wool/rayon from the challenge bag. The second scarf was woven using the second treadling above with a pink rayon yarn from Beryl's stash. Weaving ...

Not 2 Square Weavers: Empty Yarn Cones - The Great Recycling Dilemma
http://not2squareweavers.blogspot.com/2010/06/empty-yarn-cones-great-recycling.html
Tuesday, June 01, 2010. Empty Yarn Cones - The Great Recycling Dilemma. I have started reusing mine to wind on odd bits of yarn so that it is on cones for easy warping. The winding process is like making a ball with a nostepinne. You can see it in action. In researching this topic, I came up with my own link list. This article. Has lots of suggestions from readers. Why not use cones in Christmas tree. Sculptures and another link led me to this site. I promise to upcycle them! Katie Plese ( on Facebook).
