Most weavers I have known come close to hating warping the loom. I strangely enjoy it. I love the repetition and counting when working on the warping board. And then through the slow process of drawing through (or this time just tying on), I am always so excited to see how the yarn will look on the loom. Drawing the yarn on the loom has to be one of my favorite parts because I love seeing this terrible mess...
Become a beautiful sheet of yarns! This is the rainbow warp I was working previously.
New warp knots coming through! It really was difficult to wind this warp on. The yarns are set 30 epi (ends per inch) and I am using a 10 dent reed. In English, there are 10 holes in every inch, but I have 30 yarns in every inch. So things are quite tight and trying to move knots through that same area made for and even tighter situation. Btu I can now happily say the new yarn is wound on the loom. Time to tie on the front and get back to weaving!
