Sampling

I always try to have extra warp on the loom so I can sample. I want to know how the repeats will come together and if the floats are going to be acceptable and how long each element will be. What it might look like with extra repeats of different elements. I will also try different weft colors and fibers.


I think this will be acceptable for the runners I have planned, but as you can see in this close-up the float length is 1/2 inch. (Now we know why the original was done in sewing thread.)  I will have to see how long the floats will end up after I have washed and pressed the runners.
