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.
