Warp 8

This is the last technical warp I put on. I used this warp to compare double cloth to figuring side by side in the same yarns to see which i preferred. I hadn't put a double cloth warp on by this point and felt I had to just to make sure I knew how to pull it through and make up a peg plan for one. The first 3 are double clothes using plain weave and twills and the fourth is figuring. The reason I worry about figuring is because of the floats on the back which double cloth hides but then so would the lining of a garment. There werent many floats on the figuring sample for this one due to the shapes but there are a lot on the samples from my first warp. The double cloth definetly is a lot bulkier but this could be desirable if you were using it in something hardwearing like a bag or shoes rather than a garment.

 I think I will stick with figuring for a lot of my samples, makes the drape and handle a lot nicer.

This was at the end of my warp were I tried using ribbon in the weft to create dashed lines like in one of drawings. I dont know how I feel about this one - looks a bit tacky Overall not too happy with this warp.
