The last of the weaving

Nearly finished weaving the sleeve
I finished weaving the sleeves and removed the cardboard form. I couldn't resist trying it on at this stage, but it looked ragged and was heavy because it was still attached to the loomskin.

needing to be darned in and weft threads needing to be clipped.
Finally I could remove all the holding stitches and release the jacket from the loomskin. The next step is tidying up. The ends of warp need to be darned in at the neck edge, buttonholes and hems. The weft threads were fastened in during weaving so all I have to do with those is to clip them off.

The jacket off the loomskin shown right side out.
Most of the weft threads have been pulled to the inside
and the warp threads at the neck edge and buttonholes
have been darned in.
