Notes
This is a copy of a yurt band I purchased. I wanted to record how it was woven.
The original is in wool, and because its worn in places I was able to see inside the structure and calculate its structure. Where there are stripes on the front face, the back has long warp floats, and vice versa, and after a couple of repeats of the pattern the colours swap over. One shed is common to both front and back, although all colours are found in the front and the back pattern.
This was done with the warp stretched over a frame, but is an ideal backstrap project and is straightforward once the sheds are established. I used extra shed sticks where necessary to make it easier to pick out the reverse side sheds. There is only 1 weft.
