Practice on "real wool"

I had been preparing my parts to modify my warp beam and remove the apron and steel rods and install segment strips. After getting home from Jax Weavers Guild meeting Saturday I completed the change-out. I had picked up some cones of single wool so I wound them on and started weaving. I must say it is a big difference and a complete change in "feel" from using acrylic knitting yarn. I encountered a knot in one of the grey warp strands that broke the yarn from getting stuck in my #12 reed and figured out how to fix it and keep weaving. Doing a lot of bobbin refills so Dewalt is performing nicely. Addendum: Managed to finish this up today 9-15-2011. As I restarted I kept in mind what another guild member told me Saturday about how to pass the weft to finish selvedges on twill. I was going 'over' the right side floating warp and then went 'under' the left floater. Having a {lightbulb moment} thought, I switched my weft passes to go under the right and over the left floaters and it completely covered the floating warp sides and made a better selvedge for the last third of this project. The difference in the width of the twill and plain weave is that I purposely keep the plain weave at a count of 8 passes and the twill passes were about 12 count to intentionally making them wider.
