**************************************************************************

This square is the same pattern. I warped layers 1-3 in Red Heart Soft “Berry” and wove layer 4 with Caron Simply Soft “Soft Pink” and this is how it turned out. When woven from this warping configuration (1-3/4), the pattern looks totally different. It goes by the name “Alternating Dashes” in the pattern library on the Adventures in Pin Loom Weaving blog.

Alternating Dashes, back

What a difference the warping procedure makes!

  2. Hola Ines, No hablo español.
    Voy a tratar de ayudar a entender.
    P4 significado: Tejido liso 4 puntadas (debajo, encima, debajo, encima). T3 (U3) significado: debajo 3 putadas.

    Porque no hablo español, voy a demostrar en una foto. Lo publicaré pronto.
