  My ‘guestimate’ at 27 being the ‘proper’ density for this textile appears to have been pretty close.  Now, things will change during wet finishing, and this angle (tension has been released on the warp) is almost ‘too good’ at very nearly 45 degrees.  The weft is thicker than the warp, and that means it…

  in process… Yesterday I beamed the next warp and started threading it.  Last night I had a ‘bad’ night and finally gave up on trying to get some sleep, went down and finished the threading.  This warp is for samples, and the first samples will be on 18 epi.  Then I’ll cut off and…
