DW Light Peach Cotton weft 3.6 meter Second Quality
DW (formerly Darwaza) combines shades of peach with orange, red, burgundy, purple and plum. The warp is approximately 50% Egyptian Cotton/50% Cotton. This wrap has a dense, supportive weave. It has a distinct right and wrong side, with the wrong side being more weft dominant and the right side allowing the full range of color of the warp to read clearly. I am calling the structure Posselt 2 in reference to the source (the draft can be found in Dictionary of Weaves Part 1 by E.A. Posselt). This wrap features hemmed rails and weighs approximately 300 grams/m^2.
This is a second quality wrap due to treadling errors. The draft was a complicated and inconsistent 16-treadle pattern that pushed my abilities of concentration. In the process of weaving, there were approximately 6 missteps that result in a break with the pattern. These are purely cosmetic and due not compromise the integrity of the wrap. It isn't a perfect wrap but it is still perfectly wonderful.
