oops, just realised I missed a line out in my last message, here it is again with the missing bit added:
But (at least in torchon - as in Lorelei's sample - or other laces with a regular grid/pin spacing) in a cloth stitch area with all the passives the same colour,_if the tension is the same on weavers & passives_ surely there will be almost the same amount of each colour thread in the finished block? n passives doing 1 row each = 1 worker doing n rows So I think it is the tension that makes the difference - there's more of the more loosely tensioned thread to see, as well as it being more on the surface as Robin pointed out Beth (Cheshire, NW England) Lorelei Halley wrote: > The weaver color dominates simply because there is more of it.
