Woven yoke under way

 

Here's the start of the yoke, and you can see what I meant about vertical stripes. The cardboard loom is a simple idea, and works fine. 

This is either the right or left front yoke, depending on how well it works when it's off the loom and in place. It's two sided, so it's about colors working together rather than the finish. There won't be a "wrong" side.

And here's the cotton yarn I used to warp the loom

It's not supposed to show through the weft, but it will blend in pretty well if any shows. With an irregular yarn like a homespun, you allow for it.

Very glad I settled on four wpi. It's working fine.

Meanwhile, busy spinning the yarn for the weft.
