Description
Successfully weaving the ram's horn pattern may not be a rite of passage but it does seem to be a standard benchmark for demonstrating a level of skill that is somewhere above being a rank novice.
Both obverse and reverse of the band is shown. Material is 5/2 mercerized cotton.

I wish I could make my card weaved trims so neat

Thank you.
Which fiber(s) do you use? I hear wool can be very challenging when it comes to getting a neat finish (almost everything I've woven to date is either cotton fiber or a cotton/synthetic blend).

I weaved trims for an early medieval dress, so I had to use wool

Would flax be "proper" in some situations? I don't have personal experience with linen fiber but from what I've seen it can give a very neat finish (though flax doesn't take colors as well as wool so there aren't as many colors to choose from).

I will have to check, but it well might be "proper"
