90” warp, 98 ends at 12 epi (well, 100 ends because I accidentally double-threaded one slot - treated as 98 by doubling two slots).

After warping, have 48g for weft (+/- 200 yards).

Weaving: aiming for balanced weave at 12 ppi. Note: first shuttle wound with 40 wraps (= 8g). Yield: 10.5” (with two double leno bands) - so 48g weft yarn is enough for, say, 60” including 12 leno bands. Not enough; stretch with handspun pink Wensleydale stripes.

Beginning: weave 8 picks, then hemstitch: 4 warp threads (5 at selvedges), 3 weft threads. Weave 17 picks, then do 2 rows of 1x1 leno (leno section measures +/- 1”). Weave 27 picks, repeat leno section.

Gave up keeping track and aiming for symmetry, just went with random leno bands and random weft color changes.

Off loom: a bit short, just 66” - somehow I didn’t have as much warp as I thought.

First use of handspun on the loom; first hemstitching; first leno; first twisted fringe.

Twisted the fringe by hand, then fulled by hand - perhaps a bit too aggressively. Anyway, it finished at just 60” long. The two different wool breeds (Falkland merino and Wensleydale) responded quite differently to fulling, not ideal; the Wensleydale was much less affected in terms of both shrinkage and halo. My previously neat, straight selvedges got a bit bumpy. And fulling wasn’t ideal for the leno either - it closed it up a bit. Learning experience…

Second to last photo is fresh off the loom before fulling; last photo is on the loom.
