What do you do if you need to substitute yarn that requires a different sett? How do you modify weaving drafts to get the same final project size?
I carefully wound a 13-yd warp of 8/2 natural cotton and took it off the warping board and then realized that I forgot to tie the cross. What should I do?
Why would a warp get tighter on one side of the loom and looser on the other?
You explained the need for and ways to use floating selvedges when you are weaving overshot. I was wondering why you would need a floating selvedge?
I’m trying to understand the rules regarding tabby and floating selvedges in Donna Lee Sullivan’s Weaving Overshot: Redesigning the Tradition.
How do you rethread a warp that is already on your loom? Part of the answer is preserving the cross.

Someone recently asked me why I became a weaver. One reward of becoming a weaver is the friendships you make with other weavers.
The attached draft is from a non-weaving friend. How do I change the draft to put the pattern stripes in the warp? I have an 8-shaft, 10-treadle loom.
In a Weaving Today Q & A, a weaver asked about using fishing line for neat selvedges. What thickness fishing line is best?
