The last of the many tied-on warps is finished.
It's a faux huck on 16 shafts. It repeats every 112 picks. Straight threading.
And here it is after cutting off and washing. Very scrunchy, highly textured. Click to enlarge.
After all that purple, I really welcomed some complementary orange at this morning's breakfast.
Now for a brand new warp. Here's the audacious part. I wanted to blend a 4-shaft overshot and an 8-shaft point twill, so that I could weave both of them on a 16-shaft warp. It was a fun exercise, one that kept me occupied for an entire day. After blending, it turned out that 4 of the shafts were not needed, but in order to better distribute the uneven numbers of heddles on the remaining shafts, I doubled some of the shafts, and came up with the following really strange threading:
Maybe some of you math wizards can explain to me why the blended drafts originally required only 12 shafts. Be that as it may, here is the new blended 16-shaft warp. Point twill and overshot. Check.
More audacity: my Christmas Cactus has produced a February blossom!
