Rainbow Runner (2013)

 Pattern:  Plain Weave

Yarns:  Rico Essentials Cotton and Cotton Print DK
Method:  Weaving
Completed:  July 18, 2013.

This is my second weaving project on a rigid heddle loom (Schacht Flip, 15"; used 10 dent reed).  Selvedge is much better than first rigid heddle project -- having learned to explicitly bring the heddle/reed back up to neutral before beating the warp (which happens naturally from the "up" position, but not so naturally from the "down" position).

I had a choice between black weft (used) or white.  White would have been more subtle, but I figured it would also wipe out the colours.  The black enhances their vibrancy.
