Hi Aitor,
What's the difference between a side woven band and a selvage? I'm kind of confused on that.
Oh, and I just realized something - you mentioned that tunics had 3 pieces because it was cheaper to use narrower looms. Does that mean they were woven sideways from sleeve to sleeve instead of top to bottom? Just curious.
Does anyone have any info for loom sizes back then? All the ones I've seen in pictures have been at least 6 feet or so because people are standing up to weave them.
