My latest project is using hand spun Herdwick (undyed), which I have then plied with linen (again undyed). I have a wool and silk warp on a straight draft using 16 heddles. The lifting plan is for a waffle or honeycomb structure.

I'm pleased with the result as I like the way that the coarser Herdwick is contrasted with the smoother wool and silk finding its way into the pattern.
