My new warp has another ratio. This one features 4 ends of primary warp in pale shades of yellow and cream to every secondary warp of 60/2 aubergine silk. It's sleyed 5 ends per dent in a 10 dent reed. There will inevitably be some reed marks. These may or may not wash out.
This warp is threaded to a 3-block pattern on 16 shafts. The front four shafts are for the secondary cloth and the remaining shafts for the primary, in three blocks of 4 ends each.
I had a bit of trouble getting the aspect ratio right. First too long, then too short, but then (like Baby Bear's porridge), just right.
Then a few repeats.
In the following closeup, you can barely see the 2/2 twill weave in the primary cloth (pale yellow), but the twill in the secondary cloth (gray bamboo weft with fine aubergine silk warp), is quite apparent. Note that the two twills are running in opposite directions. I'm rather proud of that fact. Click to enlarge.
After all these months I suddenly realized that I didn't have to wait until the cloth came off the loom to show you the reverse side--I could just stick the phone under the web and take a cloth-selfie. It's not as sharp as the frontside pix, but it's good enough to see the ugly (IMHO) floats of secondary warp on the reverse side of the fabric.
