Having a go at threading a crackle weave on my 8 shaft table loom, using an algorithmically generated pattern by Ralph Griswald #weaving

Spent some time fiddling with my experimental crackle weave operation in #adacad, and am thinking of trying to thread this one
I'd have thought that the square patches of different patterns would give it an interesting woven structure? #weaving

After some days work, I finally made my first unassisted warp, and got it on the loom and threaded up - 189 ends. It seems I had only one small mistake in the threading, just had to swap two threads. Can't wait to explore some lift patterns with this ! #weaving
