Hello,
I've had no official weaving training and I occasionally come upon issues I'm not sure are issues or if they are how I might solve them.
Currently I'm working on a plaid/tartan piece (cotton, 18 EPI, 7m warp) that I've just wound on the loom. Its cotton, and from the moment I started winding it onto the loom i had problems with tangles in the warp, and had to comb each section as I wound it.
Before I remove the warp from my warping board I put ties around it in areas so as to stop it slipping but this doesn't seem to help. ( The ties are roughly 20cm apart.)
Am I missing something?
I'm quite patient, and if combing as I wind is just what has to happen then thats fine. But i do plan on working with fine wool in the near future and would hate to have to comb tangles out of that ~ if thats even possible. As i imagine wool would break and not take to my combing very well.
Any suggestions or tips would be welcome.
Thanks
Chris
