A little warp to sample an arcane technique: pickup lampas. 5/2 natural mercerized cotton and 60/2 red silk, in a 2/1 ratio. Two ends cotton & 1 end silk in each dent of a 10/dent reed.
Warped on an 8-shaft loom with 5-end satin for the primary cloth and 3-end twill secondary. The picked-up shed is very teensy but doable with a flat shuttle.
Now off to make a decision about potato latkes. I almost said potato lampas. Oops.
