I am weaving with UKI 10/2 cotton in the warp sett at 24 epi. The weft is 8/2 unmercerized Brassard cotton. On one selvedge my weft keeps shreading and breaking. I have been placing the weft in at an ample angle for draw in but the yarn shreads and breaks right after I enter the shed, at the far selvedge. So if I am throwing the shuttle from right to left, it's the right hand selvedge that is shredding and bereaking.
Any idea why? Any suggestions to stop it? The tension on the warp is very even. I am in the 4th yard of a 6.5 yard project. I just need to finish another 2.5 yards. Aaaargh! Help!!
