I’m now weaving on a red/pink warp — I have no objection to pink when I get to choose it of my own free will! — and my weft is this mix of shades of olive green.
In the cloth, however, it seems to be quite a bit less green and more like an old gold.
The part I really like, however, is tricky to see and even more tricky to photograph. The back of the cloth is more warp-faced and the little hints of the green weft really do glow golden.
But I think you will have to take my word for it, at least until it is off the loom.

Nice color combination! I suspect it may be iridescent when it’s off the loom and wet-finished.

Beautiful colors….not at all sweet like you’d think if you said the words “pink and green.” I’m inspired!

Love it!
“Odd” colour combinations often are the best – I’m wondering what would happen with an orange-brown weft (you know, for that last colour-sampling bit), or lemon-yellow-and-pea-green, or… Maybe I need to put on some of that hot pink I have all to much of (don’t ask)

Oooo, nice ideas. I did try a reddish-orange combo but it was a bit ho-hum – perhaps I need to go more orange? I am contemplating a dark red-purple-black too.

Great colours and a wonderful example of a simple weave made really special. An inspiration!

I love the color combinations – very brave – thinking outside of the box. What is the weaving draft?
Cally
It’s echo weave, Suzy, on a straight advancing threading.
