I’m running out of cotton loops for my regular sized potholder loom. I have enough for one more, and the colors are not what I would pick given infinite variety (which is why they are last). To maximize potential, I counted the loops and divided each color in half. I put them on the pin loom in blocks of color, so I didn’t come up short one color in a more complicated pattern. I did want to try a twill pattern, and chose a 2/2 twill, which means over 2, under 2. The start point of twill moves over one strand with each pass, which makes the diagonal lines.
