This piece wass mostly woven as a technical exploration of large scale, multi-paneled pieces, but also served as a jumping off point into the research that resulted in Before, Scales came out of.

Technical information:
Warp/Tabby Weft: 8/2 cottolin, sett at 20epi
Pattern Weft: Fingering weight wool yarn (Harrisville Shetland)
4-block Overshot draft with selvedges, woven on a 6-shaft countermarche loom in two panels.
