'Millenium
Bugs'
|
|
'Millenium
Bugs' was woven by Kazue on an Ashford
Table Loom in Tekapo Navy Blue and Sand.

Use two contrasting
colours and the bugs will come alive. When
choosing a loom it is hard to know whether
to choose 4 or 8 harnesss. With the Ashford
new Table Loom you can choose 4 now and
another 4 harness add-on kit later.
For this fabric we
used the 8 harness loom on a loom stand
with 4 treadles - using the four treadles
and the four levers for this eight harness
pattern.
