on the loom

Napkins on the loom. Another fine pattern but with just one colour weft if flies along. I only have one reed (the comb in the beater which keeps the warp threads apart) which is a bit coarse for such a fine fabric (8 dents to an inch, the fabric is 24 ends per inch) so it distorts the true pattern during weaving. The warp (and pattern) will find its correct place once it's washed.

 
End of napkin one, start of napkin two with hem allowance. A couple of errors in the section on the photo - very difficult to spot as work progresses with this pattern, especially with temple (a device which holds the weave at the correct width) covering the last completed section of the work.
