Weaving stash

It's fun to buy new material to make something: many hobby craft people admit that choosing materials at stores is more exciting than actually making something.
It's also fun, however, more challenging way, to come up with the idea to use the left over materials, which many craft people also admit accumulating in shelves.

I found pale and dark green color linen yarn which were too long to discard but too short to make something by themselves, and decided to make a small floor mat.

The pattern I used was #518 from A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns.
Warp is green, weft is beige

It was a little looser than I wanted, so I washed vigorously hoping that it would shrink and become tight, but no avail.

I made this for summer and the loose linen fabric has summer feel, right...?
