Leaving tea towels
I love having a loom. This autumn I started working on setting up the loom.
Over the course of the past year or two I began working on a new war on the warping mill on the treehouse deck.
It is blue, white, and purple. I tried to keep track of how many threads of each so that I could make the second side, the same as the first side.
I find that if I try to start a project in the winter, historically, I don’t have the interest or energy.
So I tried to start it before winter set in. There was no snow until December 1.
So I was able to take my three chains, from three different times I worked on the warping mail, and put them on the loom.
It took me a long time before I figured out how I was gonna do it with loops at the end. Loops are not a good idea. It creates an entirely uneven warm. That’s because of the angle I have to use for the three pegs at the end for the cross. So the threads of the cross are not always the same. So from now on, I won’t do it that way. I will cut all the loops when I take it off and keep the Threads consistent, or as consistent as I can.
Patty help me put the loops on the ends on the rod, but as I said, before, the loops are not the same length, so in the end, we made an incredibly tangled mess as we try to advance the War down the threats.
Once I figured out that I needed to tie the threads to the second bar instead, it got a bit easier. I started advancing the war, using the lead sticks in the cross.
As there were so many threads that were out of order, crossing one another in the war, I was only able to turn the handle to advance the war once or twice before the tangles stopped me.
I couldn’t bend over and work on the tangles for too long without a lot of back pain.
However, as has always been the case, when I have back pain in the best thing to do is walk. So I have been walking on the treadmill when my back starts to hurt you paragraph even so, I can only do it for so long.
As I worked my way down the war, I have found that the same tangles are being pushed ahead all the time.
The centre chain of war Was about 15 strides shorter than the rest of them. So I painstakingly tied them together and added on another 15 m or something
Even though I had taken all the tangled out of the war before I added on, they still got tangled together. That was quite a disappointment.
Dressing, the loom is a very long process. There are many hours spent untangling and in general dealing with having the threats, smoothly go through the Lise sticks. Paragraph the end of the war is in sight now. It is still about 10 or 15 feet long, but I can now work the tangles through to the ends.
Attaching the threads to the first bar at the front beam is a long process. And so it’s not a process to try to get through quickly but, a meditation in itself. It’s a project that has a beginning and end.
Winding the war and detangling is also a very slow process so cannot be hurried. It means sitting down to untangle between an ahead of the lease sticks and standing up to advanced the war.
Tying onto to make the warp longer was also a process of its own. There were over 100 threats in that process, or perhaps 200. No, maybe 150.
Advancing the war again is that same meditative process of sitting and standing
Taking all the tangles out of one chain of the three is also a meditative experience. I find it works best if you go to the very end of the chain and pull each thread to its longest. In no time the threads are straight. They are still crossed within the Group. I’m not quite sure how I could’ve fixed that. I didn’t make a cross.
Once the whole wharf is on the beam, then we’ll come the process of threading the read.
I think I would like to make a very difficult pattern this time. I think that periwinkle is a wonderful pattern that looks quite beautiful. I think the children would each like having tea towels with that paragraph it is an overshot pattern. That means that after each pattern thread comes a straight thread 12121212. Paragraph
Once the warp is on through the read, I will advance it all the way, and then rewind it. That will straighten out more of the problems before I start weaving. It’s much better to deal with the problems first. Paragraph paragraph
There is. 15 m or more of warp. Or maybe it’s much longer than that. Either way, I will be able to make at least 15 tea towels.
I won’t, however, be able to switch between periwinkle, I don’t think. I certainly won’t be able to switch out of Overshot without cutting the warp and starting over rethreading the head. Paragraph when you leave twill, you use the pedals and just go 123412341234. But when you do overshot especially a pattern like periwinkle use used petals in a pattern something like 34324321412323. But between each of those you have to put the Straight base. Which will be actually one and two. I think I have six petals so it will be either one and six or one and two. I think one and six would be better because when the thread comes out on the left, I would use pedal one and when it comes out on the right, I would use pedal six. Paragraph I imagine.
I imagine that this is the last war that I will put on the loom. I don’t believe that the saviour is going to delay his coming. I hope I have time to make all of these details.
However, I suppose I will be able to work on it in the millennium. Oh, it’s working now this one was frozen again.
