To Pack, or Not to Pack
A while ago I talked some about warp packing and why it is generally A Good Thing. There are, however, some exceptions. Yesterday I beamed the last of the samples for A Good Yarn: Rayon. Rather than wind a whole bunch of spools in order to beam the warp sectionally, I wound an ‘ordinary’…

Knowledge and Confidence
Rather messy looking? Yes, but after only a few minutes….(as in less than 5) the loops are untangled and the warp is ready to be beamed. Knowing that the mess is really not much of a mess makes tackling it less traumatic. Also knowing that a thread under tension is a thread under control means…

Details, Details
lease sticks between breast beam and warping valet – I push them up as high as possible and then roll the warp onto the back beam until the sticks reach the breast beam, re-hang the weights lower down the warp chain, push the lease sticks up again, and repeat until warp is beamed I think…

Warping Valet
Someone commented that she didn’t have room for a valet. One of the reasons I like the valet is because I have very little room. The only room I need to dress the loom with the valet is the space the bench takes up (I move it to the side of the loom) and the…

Warping Valet
Weaveblah asked about the warping valet – since my ceilings are fairly low, I got Doug to install a bar that hangs from the ceiling. The warp goes under the breast beam and over the valet. The Leclerc looms all have removeable breast beams, so Doug secured it with a bracket in order to allow the…

Ghost Weaver
From time to time I wind up being a ‘ghost weaver’. In other words I weave for someone else. In this instance I’m not doing the weaving, just dressing the loom for another guild member. She wanted a 15 yard warp, which is about 3 yards longer than I can do on my warping board. …
