Taquete Sample 1

Taquete Sample 1
A cloth with a yellow background from bottom to top teal fretts, purple ivyu, blue waves, and green leaves motifs.

These are my first taquete samples. These samples were woven on my drawloom as part of an experiment to see how weaving taquete would work on a drawloom. There is much debate as to whether there sumptous fabrics were woven on the drawloom or using heddle rods.
