在Mike起床后(在午餐时间一点点地)勤奋地(好,执着地)工作,我完成了整经,并编织了以下示例:

Aside from a few skips where shaft #24 was acting up, it looks GREAT! and I 认为 I will most likely use it for my 浴衣. I still need to weave a couple more samples, both to test how it looks after 染色 and to see how well rayon and cotton chenille stand up to multiple machine washes (on 细腻的) and tumble drying. This sample has a rayon chenille weft (two strands of 3000 ypp rayon chenille), I want to do another sample with 1450 ypp cotton chenille weft, and see how they differ once wet-finished and washed/dried a couple times.
我想在可能的情况下使用人造丝雪尼尔做纬纱,因为我认为人造丝雪尼尔的光泽确实会“pop”樱花曾经染成亮金色/红色/橙色。但我也想尝试纯棉雪尼尔。
我很高兴地说,第二种经纱的空中飞人方法非常有效:

黑色(棉质雪尼尔)经纱穿过综台,并穿过固定在织机后梁上的栅栏(栅栏下方有木制垫片,以防止其干扰第一经纱)。从马鞍上爬到我的独立式空中飞人,空中飞人由两个锯齿状支架和5个2×4 –快速,简单和便宜。我用两个链条来打12″将我坐着的2.5磅重的经纱弯曲并称重。
而且效果很好!我迫不及待地想要编织棉制雪尼尔样品,这样我就可以切断样品并进行染色。
