Over the past few weeks, in between other tasks, I've been gathering odds & ends for a mixed warp to tie on to the existing warp on the 8-shaft loom. Every couple of days I wind another chain; now there are seven and I am finished winding. They will be distributed randomly across the web.
Those little red scraps are the choke ties. Don't you just love weaving terminology? I'm thinking choke ties, beater, sley, tieing on, slashing, and lashes, just for starters. We weavers are a violent lot.
