Winter Leaves: Sample 2

Sample #2

The difference between this sample and the first one is the beat. Sample #1 was beat with an open shed, sample #2 with a closed shed. I'm experimenting because with my table loom, the open shed beat makes for a better structure. On this loom, the opposite is true. Every loom is different. 

Picks per inch here is 28.

The warp colors blend nicely to a wintry leaf brown. Closeup, the 4 warp colors can be picked out.


Combined with the white weft I think it works well for winter leaves.

I like the pattern but I still have the same question - does it look like leaves?
