Weaving testers on the computer-aided looms using a black and white warp

I was weaving with Linen only. This particular linen french; it was very fine and worked really well with the woollen warp. The other linen's were Bockens, produced in Sweden.

Using the computer-aided looms made visualising the fabrics a lot easier. I was shown how to use the program Weavepoint to design my samples. Weavepoint allowed me to draw patterns to make structures or use existing structures to design a fabric. I could test colours and see my design in different digital formats, such as a fabric. The computer-aided loom made weaving a lot easier as your pattern was already programmed into the computer and you could see where you were in the design.
