One layer, 360 degree weave of a brick wall. I started out with 191 threads and ended up with 187 after 613 turns. I did this with 2 sets of flat looms, not recommended. Very happy with the way it turned out.

That turned out GREAT, Dan. I remember talking to you about this weave at the show last year. 360 weaves are a real bear to deal with as they close towards the tip. GREAT JOB!

Thank Ken, Thanks Jim. The next one will probably be more complex, but that will be whenever I get a wonder weaver.


Billy, break out the blunder weaver LOL.
