Here is.

You can see where it's been woven. The colors are actually darker and richer, but i couldn't get a pic without the flash, so it got washed out. The direction of the twill changes in the exact center of the fabric (just on a lark). If you look close you can see it.

The threads are close set for wool - 34 threads per inch, both warp and weft, so it's evenly woven. Some places aren't as well done as others. This threading went with me to a demonstration/fiber collegium for a class, and the students got to weave a good portion of what's done. For all but two of them it was the first time they'd ever used a loom.

The woven fabric is about a foot wide. My loom has a 27" weaving width, but i got lazy and quit stringing the damned thing before it got that wide.

Yep! Have two wheels, one which is working, the other needs repaired. A couple dozen drop spindles, a stash of wool about six trash bags high (but who's counting?), a couple of ounces of silk to finish, a little bit of flax, uhhh....

Before i did my persona change, i was known around here as Caitrine the Spinner in the SCA. The only one idiotic enough to actually drag a wheel to all the events.

Also known for selling said spindles... if you're interested.
