FINISHED PRODUCT

Dimensions:
% shrinkage:
Ends per inch:
Picks per inch:
Hems: allowance 1-1/2”, 2/16 white in pattern.

8/23/19: warp wound, 4 bouts of 100 ends.
8/24: dressed loom, lashed onto cloth beam.
I have some looseness on the left selvedge, must have missed it when lashing. Weighing down the left side threads.
8/31/19: Off the loom. Seven napkins, 4 with length of 21”, one 1” short, and two 1 to 2 inches too long.
Obviously inconsistent beat. First 2 were proper length, I noticed the third was short and I over-compensated, making the next one much too long. Rinse and repeat, lol. A nice weave though. Hemming and washing to commence next week.
