Weaving: Setting Up the Warp

This morning I have sorted my warp plan out, and managed to produce my warp on the mill. I worked out that I have 160 ends to my warp, so that meant wrapping my warp plan ten times- lots of counting involved. It didn't take me too long to suss out a quick way of working the mill and was finished in no time. My only regret was choosing to do an eight colour scheme, as I had to keep changing the yarn colours every few wraps to match my palette. I am really looking forward to getting into the studio tomorrow morning to thread up the warp on the hand loom.
