lessons learned

how did that happen?

 I mistakenly measured this warp 1 metre short

so – it wove up quickly

different weft yarns

from the left – hand-spun cotton plied with silk;  linen and hemp (same as warp);   paper yarn, natural hand-spun and 2 ply paper and ramie from Japan dyed with kakishibu

the coloured samples have given me the idea for the next warp

the selvedges were threaded in one colour but two different blocks and in the blue only one weft was used, showing how the blocks would look without a warp stripe

the end of the warp, a narrow table runner

next, a silk variation
