Anybody out there these days? I'm hoping for advice from some experts on this structure. I'm weaving it for the first time on some towels based on an article in handwoven. It makes no mention of using a floating selvage. With this structure, half the wefts don't catch the outer warp threads and I'm not certain how sloppy the selvages will wind up being (beyond the sloppiness that comes from the fact that I'm only about a dozen finished objects into my weaving career ).
The towels are in 8/2 cotton sett at 20epi and 21ppi (if that makes a difference). Is this a thing I should be worrying about? I did find another draft for a silk wrap that DID call for floating selvages (though that was on 8 shafts...not sure if that changes anything). Should I add floating selvages or are there other tips for finessing my work as it goes that will help keep things tidy while weaving turned taquete?
