Exquisite work! I just started weaving about 6 months ago and have an Ashford 8-shaft table loom. I’m very interested in coverlets and am learning to weave them in 1:12 scale dollhouse size. The one I’m working on now is 75 epi. For me, the more complex the better. I already wish I had chosen the 16 shaft option.

Fascinating, thank you!
