Notes:
I am experimenting with a weft faced. plain weave structure. My warp is two strands of 8/4 carpet warp set at 4 epi. The weft is 3 strand wool about 1200 yards per pound. The cloth is 44 1/2 inches wide in the loom. I really like how it is coming out, but at 48 ppi it is weaving up slowly.
4 epi vs. 48 ppi is the most unbalanced weave I have ever done! Other than the slow progress, my biggest headache is that I get less than two inches of cloth per bobbin.
July 30: Weaving is complete! I will finish it up after I return from vacation on Aug 9.
