A last minute change of mind and I've created a "moiré weave" on 8 shafts (below). This type of weave is effectively two twills which create interference patterns, it's usually done on 16 or more shafts but I think my version will work and create wave like ripples of colour across the fabric. A fine 16/2 warp and a much thicker wool weft which will give the fabric some texture and hopefully fluff out the ripples into more distinct blocks of colour....we will see!
The original draught and below some playing with the tie-up and weft
