Tartan weaver with questions
My first tartan project was a 50" tied double cloth blanket with the Thousand Islands Tartan on one side and the St. Lawrence tartan on the other woven with Zephyr 50/50 silk/wool set at 24 epi per layer.
My current project is designing a tartan for the Town of Hammond, NY. I am using Vavstuga 20/2 worsted wool. I just finished weaving a color/ sett gamp sett at 30 epi. I am about to resley the loom at 35 epi and repeat the gamp.
My questions are:
Does anyone out there have experience weaving tartan with this or another 20/2 worsted wool?
Any advice or resources regarding sett (epi), the mechanics of color changes, and appropriate cloth finishing?
