I made my double wit blanket last summer for my son’s wedding gift. I didn’t hem stitch it at the time because I didn’t know how to do this with double width cloth. Now I am getting it ready to enter it into our state fair and I don’t live how the warp has spread. Can I add a weft of brushed mohair to hem stitch this? Or a blanket stitch? Or leave it? Since I have successfully hem stitched my cloth off the loom, before I treat the fringe and fulling process. I want to present the best look to the judges.
It looks perfectly beautiful to me!! Leave it as is.
Thanks Cheryl, that makes my life a lot easier! I'm fairly happy with the whole thing. I washed it a few days ago, after helping my son recover from covid last fall after their wedding and they were driving back on a scenic long trip from NY to Iowa. Poor boy.
Now, I have just taken a machined hem out of a large twill gamp towel that I made using several threading (from the season 4? or was it 3?) to replace it with hand hemming. I made a little rug a month ago from season 3 or 4. Probably a combo of those 2 classes. Its 12x24 and gifted to my new to be born grandniece. I had to go around and collect a scarf and a shawl in the collapse weave from season 3. I will take pics and post them shortly. I am proud of my efforts :) I don't mind if I don't get ribbons, I just love displaying weavings for others to see and be inspired by something they notice, even if its not a ribbon winner. Our state fair is very big and its fun to see entries. Our guild is encouraging all to enter.

8/2 Cottalin Twill Towel, navy and tan and white. This isn't the one going to the fair cause it has a float and 3 treadling errors. Its mate will go as there are no floats and only 1 treadling error that I see.

Collapsed weave silk and merino. Made a mistake in the warping, with a narrower merino strip than the rest, Ooops.
