Sample #34 of my 4-shaft crackle manners of weaving sampler.
Finally, the end of my 5-yard sampler warp!
I had enough to eek out one more sample. For this one I decided to revisit my
crackle stripes, this time with a lacy treadling as suggested by Susan Wilson. You can see
my previous lace weave crackle samples
here. This one is the 2-block lace.

#34, lace lengthwise stripes |
It's kinda hard to see them though, isn't it? Here's another shot at an
angle.
Does that help?
I think I will add this to my lengthwise stripes sample post, to have all the information in one place.
The next step was to take the sampler off the loom and sew the ends to prevent
unraveling.
On the loom, the fabric was stretched tight, so it was hard to tell how well
my yarn choices were working. Off the loom, it's relaxed and softer, and
I have a better idea. Next I'll wash it, which will make it look even better.
I'm curious as to how the samples will look after that.

Looks to me like you got all of the fun (and learning) that could be had with that one warp!
Valerie, I'm glad I put on that much warp because it was interesting to try so many different things. Next I'd like to choose my favorites and try them out on something larger.
Just seeing them at a distance like that improves them IMHO (and probably the lack of tension). I look forward to seeing them all washed!
Michelle, I agree. Over the weekend I'll have a chance to get them washed, pressed, and photographed.
It's amazing how much the finishing process improves handwovens!
Thank looks really neat Leigh!
Thanks, TB!
