Trust me, this is worth a look. There are more posts on her blog relating to this piece, too.
I have a question, though; with all these different structures, how on earth did she keep the selvedge so even?
Hi Meg, just found my way to the post by accident, trying to find something I read somewhere about silk...
The answer to your question is I used a temple. Nasty dangerous thing with wicked spikes! I handled it with great care and moved it on every 1/2 inch. It was necessary because of course all those different structures behave a bit differently, and I think that without it the selvedges would have wiggled all over the place.
Ah huh, the T word. I forgot about those things. They look so lethal, I wonder if you can put them in your carry on luggage! I wonder if it's hight time I looked into getting one.
