A neighbour has asked me to weave her a shawl based on the colours and patterns in the 4th piece from Warp 12. I will use the colours from the 4th piece and possibly the patterns in the 1st piece from Warp 12. In the 1st piece, the weft sequence is the same as in warp sequence; in the 4th piece the weft sequences are only DDLLL and black.

I will weave 4 repetitions of the 7 pattern rows to make the fabric to the desired length of ~175cm when finished.

Weave structure = Plain weave
Warp = 5/2 mercerised cotton – green glow (stripes) and white
8/2 mercerised cotton – black (couldn’t get 5/2 from Ashfords)
Weft = 5/2 mercerised cotton – radiant orchid (purplish for stripes) and white
8/2 mercerised cotton – black
Warp length = 7m
Total number of ends = 348
Width in reed = 55cm
EPI = 16
Reed = 8dpi
Sley 2 ends per dent

Warp thread sequence
48 Dark/Light alternating (2 ends in your hand for 24 wraps of the warping mill)
4 Green glow
44 DDLL (4 ends in your hand for 11 wraps of the warping mill)

48 DDDDLLLL (2 ends DD for 1 wrap, then 4 ends DDLL for 11 wraps, finish with 2 ends LL for 1 wrap)
4 Green glow
44 DDDL (4 ends in your hand for 11 wraps of the warping mill)
4 Green glow
