This was the current warp on the loom but cut it off 30 minutes ago and am already washing it. This is another warp for my secret project. It's a two block twill, sett at 30 epi, 10/2 perle cotton. I love the bright jewel tones in the warp set off by the black weft.
If you read my post of January 19th you know I had a problem with some 20/2 black perle cotton breaking left and right. Well, look at what was happening with this 10/2 perle cotton as I wind a bobbin. All this fiber dust comes off on my hand, on the bobbin winder and around the cone on the floor - you can see where I moved the cone to show what was happening. This cone is from a different company and I had used at least 2/3 of it on another project with no issue. Each time I wound a bobbin I'd have a handful of black fluff. It also breaks easily but since it is weft it wasn't an issue. If this fabric would be heavily washed, worn, used a lot I wouldn't have used it but this project is just for show and it will be fine.
