I have been holding on to some cotton/nylon yarn that I bought ages ago. I tried to swap/sell it at a local event, but there were no takers. A member of my weaving discussion group said it would work well for baby blankets.
So I took a break from towels and thought I would weave up a couple. I miscalculated and thought I wouldn't have enough yarn for more than one blanket.
Wrong (Oh well.) I have enough for at least 1 or 2 more. But I'm kind of glad I only made one.
I used a Bernat "Softee" acrylic for the weft which was super soft. Fortunately since the warp wasn't very soft. It feels OK, but not great. The warp yarn was very stretchy and a little hard to warp.

But it's almost finished, so now I can find a good home for the rest of the yarn. :-)
