612 design: #1

Yesterday I finished weaving #1 of my 612 design. It came off the loom at tea time, washing and drying took the rest of the day; I’m quite pleased with it.  Technically the size, base pattern and the weave structure work, although I wonder if a little wider selvedge might improve things.  The big twill pattern I like, it works with some colours better than others.  As for the sett (for knitters, this is like the tension) I might try it a little looser although the drape of the merino wool is fine now it’s finished.  Then to the colour: it does reflect my design source but I’m thinking that some combinations are a bit flat, especially the citrus band. Colour combinations to be explored in #2 on. Let me know what you think.
