Notes

415 ends warped 4 colors at a time then pick and choose when sleying the reed. Warped front to back. Slight tangling but I managed to get it all wound on ok.

8.5 yard warp, 10 dent reed.

Width in reed: 20.5”
Woven width under tension: 18.5”
Temple set to 20.5” for first 3 Towels then I noticed too much stretching of the woven fabric so I narrowed it to 20”

Heddle Count
Shaft 1= 82
Shaft 2= 127
Shaft 3= 126
Shaft 4= 80

Weft colors: 2 Charcoal, 1 Navy, 1 Dark Blue, 2 Colonial Blue, 2 Gris Fonce

17.5” x 26.5”
