That looks splendid  :loveit:
For a 'try out the loom' effort it's very well done.  :thumb:

@Ploshkin That is beautiful  :loveit:
Can you get a softer fabric by using finer threads or are you restricted on what thread you can use by what loom you use?

@Bumblebuncher you can get reeds with different numbers of slots across the width of the loom to use yarns of different thicknesses and you can also thread more than one end in each slot with finer yarns.  Different loom types will suit different types of weaving but with a lot of overlap.  I can use fine yarns on this loom but it wouldn't be suitable for rug weaving.  A floor loom can achieve much higher tension than a rigid heddle loom.  A RH loom is particularly suited to knitting yarns.  I've used a fairly thin cotton yarn for this weave as I knew it would be manageable.  I would like to try silk some time I think.
It's all a learning curve.

@Ploshkin Fascinating stuff but I think I will stick to the learning curve from a third party  :D

Very up-market tea-towels. I hope Mr P will not be wiping his hands on them after fiddling about with engine parts  :[
