I used a 10 dpi heddle which I was worried was creating too open a we've. Then after taking it off the loom and washing it, the fabric compacted nicely.
The one on the left is the "right" side but I decided I prefer the wrong side pattern.
I am envisioning a placemat of just this fabric and think I will reverse the colors so the background is white and the weft is green. I also have two shades of blue which could work too.
Our daughter graduates this weekend and my mother in law arrives on Saturday - weaving will have to wait as we will need the kitchen table (my weaving spot) for the next few days.

I would assume a "pick up" stick would well. Possibly a chopstick, too. There are really firm ones on the market. Might also try a narrow screwdriver. Sounds weird, I know, but one works great with my twining, especially when I have to push the warps and wefts tightly - better than breaking a nail!
Forgot to say "Congratulations" to the graduate and her family.
P.S.: Thanks for the Boxing Day Mitten pattern.
