The idea was to use some 4 ply wool and acrylic mix yarn. The warp would be black which had a nice silver strip in it and weft a matching white weaving into a small diamond/flower pattern. So let's try a sample
Problem one - the yarn had a crimp in it so tension on the loom was a nightmare.
Problem two - the small pattern visually turned the white into a dirty grey and the thing looked dirty even while on the loom!
So here's the result of me playing with some colour and turning the piece into something that will make a small bag to hang on the loom to hold tape, snips etc.
Loom Bits'n'Bobs Bag (to be)
One good thing to come out of this sample (apart from finding out the vest would have looked terrible) is that I managed to put one thread through the wrong heddle so have now discovered how to make temporary string heddles to fix this. Another lesson learned.
