Four-harness to Eight-harness

 After the last post, I wove very quickly! Here you can see the right and wrong sides of the fabric.
 Now, here is the "wrong" side.
 Here you can see the transition from the red and white to the blue and white. (Oops! I made mistakes in the weaving of the first blue and white repeat.)
 This is the right side.

 This is the "wrong" side
 Now, both sides after felting. I definitely prefer the "wrong" side with the slightly raised white interlacing.
 And after felting, the rosette really recedes, but the "wrong" side has a fleur de lys appearance.
 Yes, they really were made with the same threading of the warp!
 The blue and white had an 82-row repeat, which I had to separate into two pieces and mark the working row with a sticky arrow.
Ah, dreams of the next 8-harness draft!

Happy New Year! May you fulfill many of your fiber hopes and find wonderfully unexpected ones!
