Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding but ‘life’ got in the way. I’m in the process of winding the warp. After thinking about the sett for a while, I came to the same conclusion as you to go with 20epi. I’ve done cottolin in a plain weave @ 20epi in the past (with a 10 dent reed) and got a nice, drapey (sp?) result. A little firmer than 18epi for PW, but hopefully good with the M&O structure.
I’ll keep you posted on how it all goes. And if I figure out how to add an image, I’ll do so.
BTW, on page 97, I’m doing pattern 346.
