A puddle of warps. Now there's a new collective noun for you!
I don't usually warp from the front (hardly ever, in fact), but I wanted to mix up all the colors in these five warp chains, so I sleyed them randomly in the reed, from the front, then threaded the heddles. I will drag the whole mess through the reed and heddles on its way to the warp beam.
First I had to relocate the warp beam so that it would accommodate a nice fat warp, but now it is ready to roll on.
This is the view from the back of the loom.
Trouble is, I don't have the proper size of warp separator paper. That will arrive in a few days. Two steps forward, one step backward. Such is life.
