Weaver Notes
This is the fourth project I have done with this draft. I have enjoyed the interplay between the colors.
The weave is designated to be ten pattern repeats – I have done eight at a time, except in the persimmon weft – then I did four.
My hems are thinner yarn – 20/2 cotton. There is no plain weave with this draft so I used 2,4 alternating with 1,3 for the hems. This is as close as you can get to plain weave.
As always, washing this fabric makes all the difference.
