First Hand Woven Item on 8 Shaft Loom

This is the first sample I made on my 8 shaft loom. It took me a while at the start to get used to how it works as it is a lot different to what i'm used to using at uni.  I experimented using a few different patterns such as twill, plain weave, wrapping pink raffia around the Ends(threads) and using raffia in the weft. I folded it in half joining it together then turned it inside out and attached a finger knotted piece of lace to add an elegant touch for the handle.
