You did it so nicely and with such care.

I saw some kind of twill gamp at a recent workshop - she had a wool version and a cotton version and I was surprised at the differences between them.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing pictures of your warping process too.

I wasn't sure what yarns to use, which is why I am still Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-38749292377424717462009-10-30T17:05:43.067+00:002009-10-30T17:05:43.067+00:00How you persevere!

And I expect that the linen was easier to warp than anticipated because you are analytical, persistent, and careful.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-25356215972790200212009-10-30T06:06:36.954+00:002009-10-30T06:06:36.954+00:00Thank you for posting about this woollen version D...Thank you for posting about this woollen version Dot. I have been thinking about trying this in my Bowmont seeing that I have it to hand but I've been put off because Janet is so very hooked on the cotton of course. Also there was always going to be an issue with take up differences with the different patterns. Using a temple is a good idea. Normally I avoid it but here I think it is almost Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417693699148030814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-43055192595327100042009-10-30T06:02:14.834+00:002009-10-30T06:02:14.834+00:00This must have been a very satisfying experience. ...This must have been a very satisfying experience.

I will have to try that when I can get back to weaving. <br /><br />I've thought I'd like to try the trapeze method of warping and your adaptation certainly looks easier than trying to hang something from the ceiling. I'll have to give that a try too.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825758438498694806.post-62548002094899659292009-10-29T22:40:53.357+00:002009-10-29T22:40:53.357+00:00Wonderful resource you've created for yourself...Wonderful resource you've created for yourself.
