This motif was woven by picking up threads in alternating pairs, every other row, in both the background and pattern colors. I’ve only every done this with single colors. Doing a study of horizontal stripe pick-up has already taught me a lot.
I admit that I unwove quite a bit on this one. My warp was getting fuzzy because I unwove so much, and Lunatic Fringe Yarns is not a fuzzy yarn. The little white dots are supposed to be crisp, but they kept looking muddled, like in the area circled in the picture below. They blend together compared to the ones in the lower half of the diamond.
I’m curious to explore this more and try to figure out what was happening structurally. Have you ever woven this technique before? Did you experience the same problem?
Today’s design was from Inkle by Evelyn Neher, page 41. Interestingly, it was the only one of it’s type.
Warp, weave, be happy! ~ Jennifer

Hello Jennifer, I think this may be due to the angle of the ‘stitches’ if you look they lie in one direction which suits the angle of the lower diamond . The upper half is going in a direction ‘against the grain’. Something similar happens in tablet weave if you are doing lettering one shed does diamonds and the next ‘v’s. I’m not sure how to fix in Inkle weave maybe an extra row in the centre of the motif????
Hmmm, this is an interesting theory. I want to weave another and try your tip. I am not a tablet weaver, but I am familiar with what you are talking about. I’ll post about when I try. Thank you!
