Sometimes when these placemats are woven on lightweight looms, you may have sheds that don’t come out as clear as we would like.  To help avoid this, use a lift plan and raise each harness separately.  Click here for a downloadable lift plan.  If you want to redownload the instructions, they are now included in the download.
