Loom Prep

So the homemade warp winder did it's job and I measured out a 10" wide warp. Here it is half wound on to the loom. Everything went pretty smoothly, only one broken thread which coincidentally was on the very edge. That means no time consuming fixing of the warp!


Got the threads wound, tied them on the the front apron, and started in with some junky red yarn to space the warp threads out evenly.

This is the easiest time to check for threading errors, since you can weave a simple pattern and see where there are discrepancies. I had two threads going through the wrong heddles, but it was easy enough to fix. Just as long as there are no more broken threads....
Now I'm pretty much ready to start weaving....something. We'll see where this goes.
