Decision

I'm going with the braided twill. I won't get a chance to start winding until Saturday night, so I'm taking the time to decide whether I go with my original Conshohocken 2.2 Softball or 8/2 cotton. I played around with the Winweave draft and think that it looks better with a lighter warp and darker weft.

  1. I really like that draft. I may have to play around with it myself - it's way cool!

  2. Very nice draft! kind of like a basket sideways :)
    Can't wait to see some woven samples of that, is this for 8 shaft?

  3. I played around with different treadlings and tie-ups with that draft. None of them were quite as "orderly" as the 'tromp as writ', yet there were interesting possibilities. Put on some extra warp and play?

    Hi Charleen. This is a great draft - a diagonal log cabin! I'll have to put it in my file to try some day. I'll bet you had fun with your gamp - that is something I need to try soon - I love looking at them.
