Mixed results on window blinds

I’ve had mixed results with the window blinds.  I’m not becoming a fan of linen and linen blends although the double weave concept seems one I want to explore further.  Learning the importance of thread counts and float length have been interesting.  The sleying and cram and space experiments too have revealed how sticky linen can be. Patience tested on this warp.  I think I much prefer my mercerised cotton test piece!
