Overview
| How they did it | How I did it |
|---|---|
| Obtain a single ply wool yarn from | Same |
| Dye the thread in the desired color | The yarn was a pleasant blue that is quite plausible for a woad or indigo dye available for the target time and culture |
| Set the warps for a 1/2 twill | Same |
| Prepare a warp for a warp weighted loom by creating a tablet woven band using the warp of the desired lengths to create the cloth as the weft for the tablet weaving band | Woven on a horizontal floor loom in order to gain experience in producing cloth before translating it into practical experience producing yardage on the warp weighted loom |
| Open and close the yarns in sets passing the weft through and beating it until proper tension, making the desired weave | Same, used a direct tie up to better emulate the mechanics of the warp weighted loom |
