Woven [2023-12-10 Sun]
Session #9 was the first time for the second warping pattern. Previous was using the (double black, white, white, repeat) warping pattern, in both wool (Band #1) and cotton (Bands #2 and #3), which actually was a mistake (that warping pattern might work with other heddles besides Heddle #1; it’s a warping pattern used with double holed and other heddle designs but seemed to fail with Heddle #1).
Starting with #9, the warp pattern was changed to (black, white, repeat) both black and white being cotton size 10. The weft stayed at 1mm hemp because no cotton threads on hand thicker than size 10 (hemps nice but an all cotton solution would be easier to source).
This warping pattern is that of “complimentary warp pick-up” weaving. This warping pattern naturally does not expose the weft, except for a smidge at the edges when the weft does a 180. This also means that there are no “gaps” that show the weft, as so the threads stay in place more, making for clearer QR modules.
Session #9 was also the first time that QR modules were woven with three warps ends, rather than a single warp end. As such, the first heddle (17 holes, 16 slots) was not wide enough to render a band 7 QR modules wide. That is why the “QR code” of Session #9 is only 5 modules wide. This smaller square is known as the “finder sub pattern” which ends an rMQR:
There are a few errors in the above weave :(
