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 #eightshafts #8shaftloom #warp #warpingboard #handweaver #handweaving #weavingdraft #weavingyarn @weaving @fiberarts
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?
@faziarizvi @weaving @fiberarts This could be a mismatch between the thickness of warp and weft, and the sett you have chosen. Just judging by pictures the sett of both warp and weft seem very dense for the yarn thickness. How many wraps per inch for both the warp and weft yarns? Are you doing a twill?
