A Good Yarn / Re: Ploshkin - Weaving Along
« on: April 16, 2024, 10:16:53 AM »
Sis has chosen a different weave pattern for each chair, all of which have the sand warp and grey weft.
In between lambs I have been winding the warp and preparing it to thread the loom.
The total warp is 330 threads (ends) each 5 yards long. Astonishingly, that makes the total warp I have wound just 110 yards short of a mile!
I have done the warp in 3 sections with 110 ends in each third.
Here is one section on the warping board. At the top each thread crosses the previous one so that they all stay in order and don't get tangled when putting the warp on the loom.

The three sections are off the warping board and tied in several places to keep everything in order. Strips of t shirt fabric make brilliant stretchy ties
