Weaving CF#1


Finally have everything set up and weaving underway to complete Clun Forest project #1

The loom dressing took a little longer as I had to re-sley the reed to a larger number of threads per inch to make the warp/weft more balanced.  That done, and the addition of floating selvedges - something I have not done before - I was able to do a few 'stripes' to see what it will look like.

Tied up and with floating selvedges

The weights at the back of the loom

The final pattern (version 'E'!)
So now along with more weaving - to complete the three scarves - I'll also be spinning up more of the three-ply colour-mix.  Should keep me busy for a while...
