Hi, I am working in a project about gauze in a backstrap loom. I have got a  warp, that I prepared to 4 selvages. I will begin to weave next week, in this loom. I am working, too, in a table loom, with thin threads . Next week I´ll put some pictures and a text  in my blog. Greetings, Graciela

Ahhh! You attached the warp by tying individual strings. I usually use one thread and wrap around the warp stick (beam). But for a loose weave like gauze, your way makes sense to keep the spacing far apart.

Please continue to post pictures of your process.
Have a good day!

I bind ( attach) the warp because I want a perfect edge without fringe. (In the two edges).
