My last 8/2 cotton project, dish towels, was okay, but I would have liked a denser fabric. I had used the 10 dent reed with the threads doubled (20 epi). Suggestions made were:
- Maintain a balanced weave. Ensure the weft is 20 ppi (picks per inch).
- Several floor loom weavers said they used 24 epi.
- Give it a 2nd whack when beating.

I am ready to try the cotton again for a bag to store long tools in, such as warp sticks. Any advice or experience to share? Any tips on threading or weaving with doubled warp threads?
