Tying One On!

Yep—we’re having one big party—a warping party—time to tie one on!! Can’t let that loom sit empty too long! 

Choosing colors from fiber closet is always fun—fiber content, color, yarn size are decisions to be made—since warp will be tied on the existing warp, size isn’t really a problem—we can use 8/2 or 10/2

I like this color combination; usually, cones are placed out, I walk away for awhile; come back, add cones, take away cones till the selection is just perfect—well, I hope it’s perfect!

Winding the warp to measure length is always a chore to me!  Finally, finished and satisfied—to the loom it goes

Laid within these lovely warping leash sticks, the task of tying on begins.  These sticks were a gift of years ago—a remembrance of a Dallas weaver’s conference

Tying on!!  Must make sure the tie is tight and will not pull apart…..wind the warp on the loom…..

Throw the shuttle….

And ta da….

Nice kitchen towel—love it!!
