I have a lot of 2 ply wool which I'd like to use, so I tried that first, then split it into a single ply, which works better. The single ply is at the top. Now, I just have to wind this warp and get it on the loom!

My first transparency
The linen came in yesterday, so I wove up a little sample on a piece of cardboard to get an idea of what sett to use, and what size yarn to use for the pattern weft. I've never worked with linen before and I'm going to enjoy weaving these. The weaving will be more consistent on my big loom, but this little sample gives me an idea of where to start. I taped this on a window to see how it would look.

At the suggestion of another weaver, I've done another sample with a little looser sett, and using the 2 ply wool. I like this sample better, so will weave these with the 12 epi.
