What is the sweet spot, and how often should you be advancing the warp so you're always weaving in it? Madelyn shares her keys to weaving in the sweet spot.
I’m wanting to weave my first piece in deflected doubleweave but I’m not sure how to handle the selvedges (I have to weave 4 picks of one color followed by 4 picks of another).
I have only been weaving for three years and am fascinated with doubleweave, but how do I determine the sett for a doubleweave project?
I have been using your method of tying on a new warp to an old one for several years. I’m wondering how you calculate warp length for the new warp. I’m not sure how to determine the amount of loom waste for the new warp and I don’t want to run out of it!
I’m wondering if you have any tips on keeping track of treadling orders. I keep losing my place.
Yarn and structure nuances to keep in mind when you’re planning a warp
There isn’t really a way to translate an 8-shaft draft to four, but you can create similar effects by substituting a 4-shaft twill for an 8-shaft one or by using the same block weave you see in an 8-shaft project but reducing the number of blocks.
I typically warp my loom front to back. However, lately I've been planning some projects that require much longer warps (8+ yards). I was told that if you are planning a long warp that it is best to warp a floor loom back to front because it allows you to
