That's what this warp made me think of.
I don't normally go this bright, but in my search for weft materials, I stopped at a goodwill store.
Much to my surprise I found a bag of this warp. All this green (24 spools) and one lonely bright blue. Unbelievably priced. Low. They didn't know what they had :)
It inspired me. I added a bit of white, black and brown. And it reminded me of those funny bright green worms that you find in the garden!
It's pretty bright, but it will add a little sparkle to the wefts I use.
Here are the first finishes....
This is all denim. Three different greens plus browns, tans, taupes. Makes for a very unique rug.
Now I have the rest of the warp to figure out what to do with --- I've found in my stash some bright lime green bed sheets and hope to mix it with some more sedate colors. It will stretch my creative muscles I think.
Spring in my part of the world is resisting full implementation. Again snow yesterday and today. Downright cold, too.
It's the time of the year a person can get a little stir crazy anyway, and with all the places and things being shut down, it's even more so.
All for now,
JULIE

Yay; unexpected blessings! Yes, it is the color of hornworms, but it makes VERY attractive rugs.
