When I have time (like in between Christmas and New Year's!), I tie together the leftover bits of warp loom waste from the last year to make new weft. I use it to create zanshi-style cloth. The resulting fabric is especially nice for tea towels or scarves. I can't bear to throw out the thrums, particularly ones from expensive yarns!

Pictured is 2/8 cotton and cotton bouclé weft on a Saori black cotton warp.

  • A timely reminder that I had planned to do the same. Beautiful cloth 😍 did you use a weavers knot?

    I just used a simple overhand knot. Quick and I like the texture of it. Plus, I can have friends easily tie and wind weft for me :)
