The green/orange/black weaving/sprang is off the loom. I made quite a bit of warp because I wasn't sure whether I would have to make a second attempt at the sprang part. It came out all right, so I just wove off the rest of the extra warp, and I really like the look of this fabric.
It looks almost like a warp-dominant or warp-faced plain weave, but structurally it is a 3/1 twill. Every other warp is a dark green cotton that doesn't really show unless you look very closely.
I especially like the back side, where the black weft and the dark green warp make a tiny outline of each dot of color.

Funny thing is, I would never have set out to design and weave this fabric. The colors, the stripe sequence, the very close sett... all were designed for a certain effect in the sprang portion of my piece. The woven portion was just to be a border or frame. But I might actually think to weave something like this again.
You got it finished, without the cat's help I presume. It's beautiful, congratulations!
