De-stash project
I’ve been trying to use old yarn in every project this year, but the warp on this is all 17+ years old. The rose, pale pink and white are originally from a baby blanket whose owner is now a senior in high school. The red is from several baby blankets. Those kids are all mid 20s. The brown I got used in 1997, so who knows how old that is.
This is a run of waffle weave towels.

The brown makes the red spectrum richer even though brown seems barely visible in the towel. Wow. If I looked at an actual rose spray, there’s probably brown there, too! (Is there a more precise word than spectrum when it’s tints or shades instead of hues?) @CaramelizedShallots@ohai.social
