Warps 23 & 24 – Inkle bands woven in parallel

I wanted to make more inkle bands to use as straps on bags that I will make from the warp ends of warps 19 & 20.
Again, I wove a no-repeat version of the adjacent flowers pattern on p22 of Anne Dixon’s book “The weaver’s inkle pattern directory”, using the 8/4 cotton that the fabric from warps 19 & 20 were woven with. The colours were pale green = cream yarn, dark green = jaune fonce (warp 23), peacock (warp 24) & pink = peacock (warp 23), jaune fonce (warp 24) yarn. The weft was be cream 8/4 cotton. The band will be a warp-faced weave.

Warp 23 has 2 columns of yellow flowers (outer columns) and 1 column of peacock flowers (central column); Warp 24 the reverse.

I began by threading the loom as described in the “Learn to weave on the SampleIT Loom” booklet that came with the loom. The warps were threaded on opposite sides of the loom so that I could weave the bands in parallel using two shuttles.
The warp length was determined by the kitchen table, ~195cm
The warp thread sequence is shown in the pattern draft.

The sequence involved in the weaving of an inkle band is
Weave
Change shed
Beat (more of a firm push)
Tug the weft to straighten it out
Weave and continue to the end of the warp

The completed bands measured ~143cm long.
