What is the best way to reduce a draft when the draft calls for a loom that is bigger than the one you have at home?
Is there a trick for preventing the tangles when warping multiple yarns per dent?
Why is that when sectional warping you don't need to pack the layers with paper while you are beaming?
How do you beam onto a sectional beam without using a sectional warping method (spool rack, tension box, etc.)?
Is there any advantage to draw-in? Madelyn has the answer!
Madelyn talks a weaver through a particularly problematic plaid project.
For doublecloth, is it better to weave front-to-back or back-to-front?
How do you compensate for draw-in?
I think it is much easier to tie on a new warp to an already threaded one than to start over. It takes less time, and any errors are very unlikely to occur.
Is there a preferred way to warp thin threads such as 60/2 silk?
Setting fine threads can introduce some interesting denting in the reed.
