Notes

With all the extra dyed thread from the rep project, I thought I’d weave a band. The original design was 11 pattern threads; I extended it to 13, to use all the pattern slots in my Sunna 13 heddle.

Warp wound; heddle warped.

Began weaving. Not liking that the green dot in the center pick of the flower motif is vanishing. Perhaps I will change it to a green dot above and below the center pick.

The Accordion is here, so I can resume weaving. (No backstrap friendly spot on the social room)

Shouldn’t transfer a warp between looms mid-project. I think I’ve got it beamed on better. Need to get the selvedges under control, though.

02-17-2020

Finished. 70”. Of course I didn’t write down the original warp length.

Perhaps for future use of the Sunna on the Windhaven Accordion, I’ll not install the top front bar, so as to have a longer weaving area, and maybe get the threads in the Sunna to deflect better.

Additional notes - this started as a backstrap project, then moved to the Accordion with the 6” bars, then swapped to the 12” bars, which provided more room for the width of the Sunna 13 heddle.
