Today I managed to warp both my looms. The small one was easy after I dumped the first batch of warp that literally started disintegrating as I was trying to warp the loom. The second try was much better. I will finish the warping process tomorrow, by winding the yarn on to the rear beam. Then threading the heddle. Then tying the yarn in place. Then weaving to finish a charity scarf.
The second loom was took 2 hours to partially warp. I will probably finish that on Friday. It took a whole cake off of Whoopee by Circulo Yarns to warp a shawl for me. That is 578 yard or 528 meters. I was able to get 3 more cakes in my desired color at Grandmas Spinning Wheel. The loom did not want to be warped and needed John’s attention a little over 1/2 way through the process. The Shawl will be about 23 inches wide so I will need an extra set of hands to wind the yarn up on the rear beam.
Almost all of my larger loom. You can see the difference between the 2 looms and why I will need help with the larger loom.
In other news my eyes are doing great. No issues following last year’s surgery.
