Notes: 

sugar cane stripes in 1/3 twill set into a frame of black plain weave. Weft is black bamboo. The sett is 8 end per cm for the bamboo, 4 ends per cm for the sugar cane.

This was an attempt to make the one skein of sugar cane multicoloured yarn go a long way. The idea is from Handwoven no 151 adapted to my own use.
