The sample that I wove is shown in the photographs below. It is 9.5cm wide by 25.5cm long and took me approximately 4 hours to produce (half of this time was spent warping the loom which involved using a warping frame to create a warp, mounting the warp threads and finally threading them through the heddles and reed).
