20/2 silk was cold-mordanted with alum and dyed with cochineal. The ribbon was woven on a Spanish Peacock rigid heddle loom, which is inspired by pictures of medieval band looms.

what a fascinating loom! Did you build it yourself? Never seen anything like that before.

Wish I could see the ribbon better :-)

I second that. I lust after one of his looms. I tried to buy one at Pennsic but he was sold out.
