My mother has room divider panels that she uses in her living room in front of a window. The room 
divider panels are made of a wood frame with rice paper. Over the years, the paper started to tear. She asked if I would weave her some white panels to insert into the room dividers.
I decided to do the panels in huck lace using Brassard 8/2 Cottolin (natural color). I did a sample on a table loom of a huck lace pattern sett at 15 epi, a loose set so light would more readily filter through the cloth. After machine washing and drying, I determined that the shrinkage in length and width was 13%. I needed 6 fabric panels that would be 67 inches in length and between 15.5 and 17 inches wide. I planned to staple the fabric to the back of the frame and wanted the woven width to be correct. I warped the loom with a 15 yard warp.I decided to weave 4 different treadling sequences to add some visual interest, figuring I’d have the panels alternating between a unique huck pattern and a repeating one. I used TempoTreadle to track my weaving and let me know when I had woven the correct length for each panel.
The four WIFs I used, with same threading and treadling, are listed at the bottom of the post.
