This set had some learnings too...I had suspected in my first set of placemats with the Pasa Yarns that I might have the wrong heddle. While my lingo isn't up to speed by any means (and I could work on that by doing some reading), the heddle that came with the loom was a 7.5 dpi. This heddle is perfect for worsted weight yarns and I'm sure the yarn I'm using is finer than that. So, one day I'll get a 10 dpi heddle which will perhaps make a more uniform weave with this yarn.
That being said - I also learned how to put in more striping and the effects they make on the woven pattern. It takes a bit longer to warp the loom with stripes but I love how it looks.
I am debating on keeping these or putting them for sale in my LYS which has a co-op where artisans can sell items (I have sold lots of my hand knits but none of my weaving to date).

I think you should keep at least one set you make for yourself.
