How do you go about figuring out the best sett for an overshot shawl?
I am weaving a shawl in huck lace using 10/2 bamboo. I have woven samples at both 20 epi and 24 epi. I’m not sure which sett to use for the shawl or whether the pattern is supposed to look the way it does.
I have been falling in love with overshot and have done several recent projects from Handwoven. My problem is that I am not, as hard as I try, able to beat my designs to square.
How do you warp stripes that don't repeat for doublewidth weaving?
How do you wet-finish wool for the best results?
