Here is a picture of my double weave fabric off the loom! I need to twist the fringe (which will probably take longer than the weaving, grr), throw it in the wash and then it will be 100%. The perceptive eye may tell that it is not a square. Some shrinking and shifting will occur when this is washed. Most likely it will be a square after that.
I am surprised at how heavy the fabric is. It is a double cloth and each pocket (256 of them) is stuffed with polly-fill. It is approximately 36 x 36 in. End use? My original thought was baby play mat. It may go on the wall.
There is enough yarn on the loom to make another piece this size. Now that I have finished, I kind of want to go ahead and weave that as well. I want to do stripes in stead of the squares using my favorite two weft yarns from this piece. Stay tuned :)
