used a reed 5 per cm but threaded it only 4 dents and one blank, 4 dents one blank,4dents one blank….
started weaving thicker silk to level out the beginning
smaal tip for use of more strange and not so easy threads
do not try to fit the tension perfectly by stringen the endwarps to the cloth section!!!! do it hy weaving the first 5 cm on the new weft
you wil faster see the problem sections were you need to in or decrease the tension

was a lazy day today woven only 30cm
and I AM HAPPY
very happy with the result, the touch , the volume the feeling and the overall look of the weft
it is simply amazing what special effects you can have whit this latex mohair thread
specialy if you take those 3 colors
these colors result directly in very stylish graphicTypografylism

first sjaal is completed
100% woven in linnen structure
as to show how easy you ca get very satisfying result in easy weaving structure
the latter pat wil be in slightly more complex evolutions
from twills to waffel to monk-belts imitations
i will see

finally finished
for one reason or on other it did not go in a swiffie
not that it was not fun to do
just not in the mood for weaving for the past months
have done 5 knitting projects first
and one crochet
but again very very happy
we have used this already on a professional airjetloom
28 frame twill and satin bloks between it
at 250 shots per minute
had no trouble what so ever
but soemtimes what can be done with no trouble on a machine ;;; can give trouble in handweaving and or vice vera
so i did th test myself
the only possible problems i can forsee
are the warping of the loom
there you need to adapt a bit the tension and make sure you got all well commed out so no threads stick together
or they will snap
but a more advanced weaver will do this automaticly
