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.
Raising four shafts with every treadle makes the treadling very heavy. Is there anything that you can think of that would make it easier to treadle?
How much more length do you need to add to a warp to weave eight towels instead of four?
Could the reed with small dents cause warp ends to break?
How do you calculate sett when you are using a supplementary warp?
Is it possible to weave rigid-heddle projects on a multishaft loom? What do you need to know?
I use a Glimakra countermarch loom with an overhead beater. I am wondering if there is any good technique for resleying on the loom.
How do you substitute one yarn for another in a project?
What method do you use for warping your drawlooms? I use a method I learned in Denmark, but it's very cumbersome, and I usually end up dealing with quite a few problems during the process.
My heddles are distributed evenly on all eight shafts, but I'm not going to be using very many heddles on shafts 5 and 8. Should I remove them?
