I love your choice of yarn. Not only is it colorful but it also adds texture. I have wanted to try some of this type of yarn but was afraid that the irregular texture would not pass through the reed. Any tips on choosing a texture that will pass through the reed without getting torn?

Thank you!
Depends on your reed size of course, but I am currently using a 10 dent and soft textured yarns seems to pass through without any problems.  My heddles are inserted eye heddles so that helps as well.

I have had good luck with ribbon yarns, ladder yarns and ricrac rayon.  Only trouble I have encountered is with slub yarns that have large slubs.  They catch and come apart.

Since I decided to keep the first one for myself, I'm making another for the WVAL show next week in Wimberley.
