Happy Thanksgiving!!
New warp ready to thread on the recently restored Bergman 12s. Really looking forward to seeing how this loom performs after its tune-up!
This is a test warp for a draft that will hopefully become the basis for a tallit. My plan is to have bands of stars with a blue weft on a white plain weave background. But I will test the white on white pattern, and some other options. The warp is 10/2 unmercerized; the blue weft will be 10/2 mercerized, so have a little shine. I will test a variety of white wefts and some very pale blue as well.
The draft has basketweave and (mostly) plain weave selvedge options charted out; I’ll test both to see what works better. The skip in the treadling pattern means it’s not possible to get a true plain weave for the selvedge.
