Cotton Napkins

This was a run of napkins that I made to donate to a luncheon raffle.  I just used some cotton that was in my stash.  I was able to get 9 napkins from my warp, I used the first one as my sample to determine how long I needed them.  However I couldn't figure out why I was getting such long floats until I checked and saw that one of my treadles was not tied up correctly.  So I got 7 usable napkins.  This draft came from an old Handwoven magazine from May/June 1993, page 48.  The directions said to double the warp yarn but I just used a large size yarn. I used an 8 shaft Gilmore, but only used 4 shafts.    I still consider myself a self-taught beginner.  I think no matter how long I weave, I will still consider myself a beginner!
