Detail of Handwoven Placemat, Twill Weave

This is a detail shot of my first finished cloth from a weaving class taken a few years back, cotton weft and warp, woven on a Schacht 4-shaft table loom rented from my weaving guild. I now own quite a few looms--both table and rigid heddle looms and one beautiful cherry wood floor loom.

  2. I'll have to find my design notebook from the class I took to give you exact details. I believe it was a 12-dent reed, but I probably sleyed 2 ends per dent or a 2 + 1 pattern.

    The wound dark-blue cotton warp was given to me by my instructor, and I believe I used a commercial yarn, Patons "Grace" (16 wpi) for the weft. I'll verify these figures when I locate the notebook. Thanks for your interest :)
