I am wondering if anyone here has made the "Featherweight Throw" (Gretchen Stratton, Handwoven Magazine, 1997) ?
It is one of the blankets in the "best of" E-book titled Double Weave, Double Width.
It's a beautiful blanket in Twill on 8 shafts. I am thinking of tackling it, but I have questions....
Is the tie up for a sinking or rising shed? There are no x's or o's in the tie up box. Just numbers. Does it matter? Jane always says it will just be the opposite on the other side.
Why is no floating selvage mentioned? Does the way it is threaded take care of that?
I saw Alon's post earlier about dropping the first thread in a twill as a way to avoid a floating selvage.
I don't know whether I am allowed to post a picture of any of this for copyright reasons. But you can find the e-book here:

It's on page 19-20 (the one with the teddy bear)
Thanks, in advance.
