That looks amazing. Love the differences achieved by using just two colours.

Amazing and really interesting to see the different and lovely patterns made from the same two yarns.

Many of the patterns are different on the reverse side so, even more choice.
Life's too short for ironing.

What a great way to demo the different weaves! They're all good, looking forward to seeing what your sis chooses.

Very fine weaving. How lovely to have bespoke cloth.
In my dreams I'm still sewing....and also in my nightmares.

Sis has chosen a different weave pattern for each chair, all of which have the sand warp and grey weft.
In between lambs I have been winding the warp and preparing it to thread the loom.
The total warp is 330 threads (ends) each 5 yards long.  Astonishingly, that makes the total warp I have wound just 110 yards short of a mile!
I have done the warp in 3 sections with 110 ends in each third.
Here is one section on the warping board.  At the top each thread crosses the previous one so that they all stay in order and don't get tangled when putting the warp on the loom.

The three sections are off the warping board and tied in several places to keep everything in order.  Strips of t shirt fabric make brilliant stretchy ties

I'm imagining the results if I did!!

That looks so impressive @Ploshkin !
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
