So. I’m not entirely happy with how the sample came out. Entirely too much weft - this lovely warp yarn just disappears under all that and I’m not really seeing the pattern either. It’s pooooooosible I didn’t do the lift plan (table loom, no treadles) properly but I doubt it, I’m not sure whether I should try a finer weft or a different draft (but hopefully same threading?) altogether.

Thoughts?

New weaving project! The warp is a merino/silk blend in a beautiful varigated green and gold. The weft is a peacock blue tencel. I'm hoping this 8-shaft draft (#26924 from Handweaving.net) will give a lovely peacock feathers look with these two yarns. We'll see - I haven't sampled yet. If this turns out well, it'll be a lovely scarf for a friend. @weaving @fiberarts
