By the way, I would rethink setting something that is 20 wpi at 12 epi for plain weave. 10 epi would be the maximum plain weave sett but it should probably be less if you want the same picks per inch as ends per inch. Think of the takeup of the yarn as it weaves in and out of the warp.

I wouldn't call it a "must have", more a curio.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to Lartiza for her tips on spinning to weave a throw.

It does loose some twist during the warping process. Thanks for your praise on my stuff.Laritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06380883584186444453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-11978378827097904572008-01-13T13:28:00.000+00:002008-01-13T13:28:00.000+00:00I have one of Tod's books, but not that one.

Somewhere in Joanne Hall's CM book (which you don't have in the UK!) she explains how to slip an extra texsol heddle in there, working it through the top and bottom loops, but I can't recall how at the moment. I really should learn to make replacement heddles properly. The ones I've done are always reminiscent of a drunken sailor's.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
