Networked rosepath, woven

Here’s a photo of the networked-rosepath draft I posted this morning, now on the loom/woven up:

I really like this, and have already woven the first 16″.  At this rate, the three-yard minimum should be a breeze.

I’ve also decided to leave it as it stands – it’s beautiful, and also quite complex in itself.  Adding surface design techniques would merely be distracting.  And (as I keep reminding myself) not everything has to be blingy!

  2. Elegant. I’m a sucker for household linens. This would be a lovely border for hand towels for the guest bathroom in your new house. Or, indulge yourself and make linen towels for yourself…

  4. Oh, the draft is on 24 shafts. The 24-treadle treadling is on a 4-treadle rosepath network…for more detail, check out Alice Schlein’s book, Network Drafting.
