After struggling with this project for many weeks, I had finally had enough. First of all, I was having trouble keeping track of the treadling sequence, with the result that I was spending more time unweaving than weaving. Secondly, even though I was using sturdy floating selvedges the outside inch or so of mostly tencel yarn was shredding badly, incurring constant warp repairs.
Making the same mistakes over and over again with the same results is not smart behavior. That dog must go.
I cut the outer inch of warp on each side and wove off the rest of the warp in plain weave. It went very quickly.
I then washed the completed fabrics, put them aside for a future project, and felt much better!
I as then able to put a new warp on the loom and start some swatches in canvas weave for a study group.
The warp is 8/2 Lofty Cotton, white, and weft is the same in cloud gray.
This should pouf up nicely and the canvas openings show up better when washed.
More to follow.
