I can't get a plain weave with shafts 1-3 vs. 2-4. I am getting a 'sort-a' plain weave with shafts 1-2, vs. 3-4. And, I am not using the traditional overshot tie up. Instead I am going for a direct tie up that has me stepping on two different treadles at the same time. Either I have not figured out his draft, or I did some crazy threading. I did not see if I had a plain weave when I did the computer work. Yes, operator error here!!!
Not real sure that this 10/2 will work. I know it will look better once it's washed, but think I might try something either bigger or maybe go find some 18/2 wool. But I really like these colors together. The warp is 24/3 sett at 30 epi.
I believe these are the reason we sample!!
Those colours go well together, maybe just double the yarn on the bobbin?
ReplyDeleteI realize this isn't what you thought you were going to get but I like it. It feels very 'airy' to me and light which is unlike a lot of red/white/blue fabrics.
