In the warp zone again. This time I'm making a black linen (warp) and black wool (weft) scarf. I'm using a standard "Ms and Ws" point draft twill pattern from Handweaver's Pattern Directory pg 90. #weaving

When weaving point draft twill patterns, the pattern reverses on itself. If you read the introduction to that section in Handweaver's Pattern Directory it will inform you that because of the reversal, these patterns require a floating selvedge.

If you don't read this section or already know this fact, a few inches into weaving you will discover the problem, unpick all your work, and improvise a weighted floating selvedge. Ask me how I know.

@kyle I’m sorry you had to find out that way, but…yeah. Your scarf is looking great!

@JoanESheldon Thanks! I seem to learn something new in every project. So far with this one I learned the lesson about floating selvedges in point drafts, as well as the importance of beating this type of weaving on a closed shed (my last project was krokbragd so it had a hard beat on an open shed and then another hard beat after moving to the next shed).
