Thank you for this informative video! what is your suggestion for a sett for linen 4000yds/lb. 2 ply? I prefer linen towels on a denser sett.

Loved the video!!! Wish I lived closer to you. There are no weaving groups near me let alone instructors. Sounds like heaven to participate in this craft.

Thank you for bringing this endearing topic to KZbin, and for introducing several authoritative books with their excellent drafts. Many years have passed since I was able to plan and weave simple projects for my looms, all the while admiring more complex structures and patterns. Now that the time has finally come when I can add to my knowledge and experience, I am excited to find and enjoy this overview and to be reacquainted with the beauty of these linens through your detailed descriptions. I can nearly feel the shuttle in my hands as you speak! More, please, and deepest thanks!

Fabulous! Thankyou for posting this video. Is there any chance you would do your class online in the future?

[@melissaweaverdunning144]

Possibly, but at this point I’m mostly doing slide lectures for guild programs.

[@janemorrow6672]

Thanks for your reply, Melissa, your video gives so much wonderful information I feel like I could have a go at some of those designs. Your introduction to the different books is particularly valued.
