***UPDATE 28 Jan 2011 ***
After a little over a month of it sitting on the shelf I've picked up where I left off - a broken warp that needed mended and finishing the weaving. I'm about a third of the way through. I'm rather pleased with the result thus far. The hand spun silk singles are proving to be stronger than I expected, and more even than I thought. My selvage is a little rough but nothing serious - especially given that this entire project is experimental (testing my silk).

This is going to be interesting - I've recently finished my silk/linen project (still finishing ends) and am surprisingly happy with it. The next phase is to try something pure silk. I've decided to try it on my inkle loom because its a small project, and because I need the space in the living room (taken up by my weaving stand) for the Christmas tree! I need a new ribbon for one of my books and this - if successful should do just nicely thanks.
