Cutting the warp off, is for me, a scarey, but exciting part of weaving. I started this inkle band during a workshop with the Somerset Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers several months ago. When I got home I did a bit, but it sat part done in the corner for all this time until I was fired up to finish a few projects off and wove the last fifty or so centimetres yesterday evening.

This morning I cut the warp and will now wash the band. It is in 4ply hand knit/crochet cotton and follows a simple pattern that was set for the workshop. The colours were chosen to suit the living room curtains and if I ever get around to it I will make this band into tie-backs for the curtains, (which was my original intent).
