Usually when I weave in the round I need an odd number of warp threads, but I discovered that the most efficient way to weave this pattern in the round was to have an even number of warp threads and to weave one colour one direction and the other the opposite direction, crossing them at each colour change. So I used one pair of warp threads together for the pattern section. When I switched back to a single colour at the top, I went back to using all the threads individually.

To keep from getting bored with such a simple weave, I graduated the colours within the stripes.
Beautiful! I love making my own looms… Your work is wonderful!
