Wool Cloth Woven in Plain Weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom
Plain weave is the most basic weave: each weft thread goes over one warp thread and under the next. Woven from undyed wool yarn, the cloth comes off the loom loose and soft, still oily and unshrunk; fulling cleans and thickens it afterwards.
The picture: plain weave seen close up.

Lift the heddle, pass the shuttle through, lower the heddle and pass it back, beating each pick in lightly with the heddle. Lay the weft in at a slant so the edges do not draw in.
