Madelyn offers a little clarification about the surgeon's knot and how to use a warping paddle.
If warp ends cross at the back beam, is it a problem?
A series of very bad decisions had led to a tangled four-yard supplementary warp that otherwise was the perfect fiber, color and size.
Your method of warping will determine the correct chaining direction.
How far from the cross should you make your first choke tie?
When you have multiple ends in a dent how do you keep them from twisting around each other?
Variety is the spice of life and weaving gamps is one way to see great variety.
My sett is 48 epi (4/dent in a 12-dent reed). I’m worried that if I just tie one thread to each one of the four threads hanging from each dent without taking them in their exact order, they will be twisted when I start trying to wind the warp.
I use a Glimakra countermarch loom with an overhead beater. I am wondering if there is any good technique for resleying on the loom.
What is the reason for keeping the cross when threading? Aren't the ends in order after they have been sleyed through the reed.
