Darker natural Linnay ( cotton/linen) as warp with stripes dyed onto lighter natural
Set at ~15 epi 1-1-1-2 in 12 dent reed
Planned to do a balanced plain weave but I’m getting about 10 ppi, and it looks fine, so I’m going with it. Slightly warp faced accentuates the stripes.
The stripes were inspired by a linen curtain on the kitchen window facing the patio at the Hotel Il Cavallo in Barbarino di Mugello (shown in the last photo).
Weaving started July 29 (winding warp started probably July 26?)
