I pulled my book out when Erica started this idea and decided to play along too. Here is a picture of my plain weave sample. What it is now is a try at dimity. In MWS it said that dimity could be woven by doubling wefts and sleying those doubled wefts in side-by-side heddles. I have seen dimity woven with a combo of plain weave and twill, but I thought I would give this a try.
This sample has a bunch of things going on. I designed on the warping board, which I never do, using Fibonacci sequencing for setting up the stripes, which I have used alot in the past, all the colors came from bobbins sitting in my bobbin basket so I was able to empty 5 bobbins, which was good because I was running out of bobbins, and I have a chance to take my new table loom for a spin.
The sample is 10" wide, sett at 20epi except the color stripes that are doubled, in 8/2 unmercerised cotton. It is weaving well, but the cords do not show, just looks like 1/2 basket weave right now. I am thinking that after wet-finishing the texture in the fabric should pop.
