So I've got 25 little bundles, each over 15 yards long. This could get messy...I think next time I'm going to do some organization before I get these over to the loom...
I've incorporated a few last minute additions of white (see the cones), and done a little shifting in the placement of some threads. This looks like chaos, but all is calm where the first white marks are about to travel through the loom.
This bar and nail set-up is half of the pair I used to hold the warp while I tied my bundles. Now, it's providing an anchor and some tension as I align my pattern and tie my warp to the back bar.
Untying all those little counting bundles as the warp makes its way slowly but surely through the loom. I'm noticing shifting, but I can't tell if it's from my tension as I wind, or the lack of tension on the warp when I applied the pattern, or any number of other variables. I can say that the shifting is happening from one 1" bundle to the next, not within the bundle, so that's a good sign for my tension in winding the warp. Well, whatever it's doing, it is looking gorgeous. This warp is taking me all day to wind.
