I have designed this in a way novel to me. When I came to weigh out what handspun I had in the stash and discard the stuff that was the wrong colour or too fine, I realised that, while I had enough weight of yarn, I had no idea how long each colour was, given that the thickness could be different. So I weighed each colour, put half aside for the weft and prepared a warp or two identical warps, with the other half of the yarn. That way, I knew how many warp threads of each colour I had. I then used Fibreworks to design the colour scheme.
The colours are not true but representative, The yellow is turmeric coloured and sort of boucle and the white is off-white. The red signifies the space dyed handspun which I have doubled up with up another darker yellow to give a thickness near to all the other yarn.
This will be the first cushion. The colour scheme in the weft will be altered for the second and third cushions.
