Warp 34 – Planning version 2

After looking at a piece of Huck lace I wove long ago (Project 11, May 2021), I decided that I didn’t quite have my pattern correct. I was going to end up with lace everywhere when what I want is a mixture of lace and weft floats. So I went back to Jane Stafford’s video of Huck Lace drawdowns S05E03 and decided what to do. Back in WeaveIT software I played with the treadling and tie-up to get the design that I actually want. Here is the final design:

The warp will be 5/2 mercerised & unmercerised cotton – main colour = dazzling blue with forest green
zingers and scuba blue plainweave borders.
The weft will be 5/2 mercerised & unmercerised cotton – main colour = scuba blue with honeysuckle
zingers and dazzling blue plainweave borders.
3.5m warp – 2 blankets of ~90cm length on loom + samples; wind with 3 dazzling blue ends in my hand
541 ends (no floating selvedges as I have large plainweave borders) – 480 ends for the pattern
(6 repeats of 1 green & 79 dazzling blue) + 61 ends in borders (30 scuba blue plainweave and
1 green on one side – the other side has a green in the pattern repeat)
12.5epi, ~12.5ppi
Width on loom 110cm (43.25 inches)
Spread 2.5/slot in the raddle
10dpi reed
Reed sleying 1,1,1,2/dent.
