Last Sample!

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.
