I needed 8 colours and had to put them in line harmoniously. It took a lot of time.
I changed, and changed, but finally it looked good.
To be sure I made blends of two colours.
Time to make the warp. I lined the colours the way I needed them.
The threads went over the table……..
…through the reed of my warping wheel to arrange them as parallel as possible…..
then to my warping mill. I used my warping paddle for the second time.
432 threads………
Making the cross went fine.
Bundles of 10, easy counting…..
Tadah…..ready for the loom
This morning I went to my workshop tutor Marian Stubenitsky.
She taught me how to use the warping paddle.
What a nice instrument. I needed 4 colours for my first ‘iridescent colours’ design. It went perfect.
To be honest there are a few mistakes, but I don’t mind. After all, it was the first time.
