Woven fabric, the latest....

I have been using wool to make a point draft weave with a twill structure.

The warp chain
Here is the warp made, chain linked and ready to 'dress' the loom. 

The next picture shows the threading up.  It's quite a tedious process, accuracy is paramount, but careful work results in an accurate and successful weaving.

The fabric is woven in bands of colour, then washing (fulling) takes place.

It will be used for a project, stitched into something.....?!

I will post a picture of the result when it is finished.
