Based on the fall coloration of raspberry leaves.
Repp playing off inkle band design.
20 1/2 ” x 13″
514 working ends, so 1028 warp threads.
Each 10/2 end, despite working as double threads, was threaded separately to organize the color mixing in each 2 end weaving unit. The beat was 5 double picks/” on the loom, 4.5/” finished. I used relatively loose warp tension and beat hard with a shed stick in the upcoming shed. The thick weft was twisted at the selvedge. Thin wefts were treated as if for an inkle band, by leaving a weft loop, beating and then pulling the far side loopy weft snug against the selvedge.
Colors used: UKI navy & purple, purple passion, pacific blue, deep turquoise, Lunatic Fringe copper, kelp, forest, 5 red-purple
