Some weaving progress

I'm happy with how this slub- and- noil hand-spun yarn is behaving on the rigid heddle loom.
I did the maths and made a plan to weave it into an 11" X 72" table runner, with a tweedy-plaid effect.

The different shades of yarn lined up for action behind the 8-dent heddle (which the yarn fits through :) ).

The warps in place:

About 1/3/ done:

I can use the heddle to beat the weft in without harming the warp. I wasn't sure this would work out but glad to say it did. Hopefully I'll remember to check my stash in Ravelry to see how that yarn came about.
