This is a lovely stainless steel and cotton yarn. Stainless steel adds a springiness (memory) to the yarn so when it is stretched out it will tend to return to its original shape. This yarn is a stainless steel core wrapped with cotton. You can use it to add texture to your weaving.
Available on 1 oz cones. Approximately 1000 yards. Choose the color from the swatches shown below. Scroll down for more information.

Play with color in this 8-shaft false Damask 2 towel kit featuring 4 colors of our Tubular Spectrum mercerized cotton yarn. The towels are woven on the same warp, just change the weft color for the large blocks on the second towel. The false damask creates blocks of color that appear to be woven together! And with the warp already wound, it’s a fun, fast, easy weave. Based on a draft from “A Weaver’s Book of 8-shaft patterns” edited by Carol Strickler.
Another beautiful kit from DJE Handwovens.

This 100% cotton Rug Warp is a timeless favorite for rag rugs, Repp weave rugs, and placemats. It is a wonderfully stable warp yarn because of its tight twist and low elasticity. This yarn comes in a wide range of colors for you to match to your fabric strips or create a rainbow across the warp. Available on 8 oz tubes with approximately 840 yards per tube (1680 yards per pound).
As a result of the annual challenge by the Southern California Handweaver’s Guild of “Fowl”, the concept of our Loon Mug Rugs was hatched. The stripes are intended to look like the neck stripes on the summer plumage of the common loon. The mug rugs shown are woven with 3/2 mercerized cotton yarn using the 5-shaft satin pattern. When washed, the fabric has very satisfying ridges. The 4-shaft draft will produce a flat mug rug with equally interesting color stripes with the twill stripes. Design created by Michele Belson.
