Today's sample (this is the one you saw on the loom here) is shown before and after wet finishing. This cloth combines an 8-shaft crepe with stripes of broken 1/3 and 3/1 twill blocks, and stripes and selvedges of straight 2/2 twill.
The first scan is before washing…
…and the second scan after washing, tumble drying, and a light steam pressing.
The bright pink area is especially nice, I think, in terms of how the wet finishing brings out the weave structure. The 8-shaft weave draft for that section alone is shown here.
