I am in the planning stage of weaving a stitched double cloth throw with a different tartan on each side. The inspiration is David Xenakis's "Double Tartan with Extra Weft Stitching" in The Best of Weaver's Doubleweave book. The two tartans have different stitch counts. There are 6 colors in each with four of the colors occurring in both. I am using Zephyr 2/18 wool/silk in warp and weft. First dilemma, winding the warp. How have other people solved this? Thread by thread? Single color bouts? A separate warp for each tartan? Back to front or front to back? Sett for the Zephyr? I'm guessing 30, but I may actually sample this time. Weaving suggestions? Finishing suggestions? (I'm still optimistic)
