Roger Millen describes his experience weaving suiting fabric from Fabricspun, a domestic wool yarn, building on an earlier article by Howard C. Ford. He explains why he changed from a 30-ends-per-inch warp threaded double in a 15-dent reed to 22 ends per inch threaded single in a 22-dent reed, which gave a balanced basket weave and easier shed changes. He also covers warp knots, warping methods, weaving in the oil versus scoured, laundering and pressing, shrinkage, and weaving twill or herringbone on the same warp.
