i would have chosen a better warp color, if i didn't hate warping so very very much (this grey was already on the loom for the blue dishtowels)

it was grand fun watching each new color strip appear ~claps~

there were definite under spun sections, and a few drifted apart having lost their will to be yarn. this is a particular issue with me and singles (generally, i'd solve this with plying two or more singles together). so now, i can pay more attention with the next batch of spinning - seems you really can't have too much twist for cotton

for the most part, this experiment rocked and i'm excited to both weave up the rest of the yarn already spun in this color way *and* to spin the next color (oranges/yellows/pinks)

if i run out of warp before i run out of enthusiasm for spinning my own cotton, i'll ponder a more neutral color for the next set of towels (mebbe something dark to set off all the lightly colored/muted hand spun?)
