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.
Unwanted weft floats can be avoided if the warp ends are resting on the shuttle race.
I have only been weaving for a short time and have a horrible time with tension. Is warping either front to back or back to front better for controlling tension?
I just wound a linen warp of 35/2 linen and the threads were quite twisted as I sleyed, threaded, and beamed the warp. What was I doing wrong?
Madelyn delves in to two more forms of doubleweave in this second part of a three part series, Beiderwand and Lampas.
