Hi Alice!
It would have helped if I had actually gone back to your book. It was so long since I glued a dowel to the warp that I had forgotten how to do it, but thought I knew how to do it. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing....
So, sampling done, I decided that I really needed to glue the warp this time so as to not lose any more warp to experiments.
I accomplished this the other night (with a few ties and rubber bands) it dried overnight, and I was able to cut off the samples the next morning to wet finish, spin out and then mangle.
More fun things to look at, none of the critics totally agreeing, but at this point, I need to get weaving. So, the dowel with the glued warp is tied to the rod and I am ready to go back to the loom! No muss, no fuss!
Are you enjoying the April Showers? I saw Bloodroot yesterday!
Be well, Nancy
