Laverne,
I am trying to make some Andean pebbleweave key fobs on an inkle loom and totally messed up on the number of warp threads on my first warp. Please confirm my re-figured numbers. When I speak of one pair of warp thread on the inkle loom, I mean one through the heddle and one in the open, really two warps. Sorry I don't know the naming convention for this.
I want to make key fobs combining several smaller motifs - a centered 8 revolution pattern with a 4 rev pattern on each side. For each 4 rev pattern, I will have two colors, say green and yellow. When warping the inkle loom, I would put the green in a heddle and the yellow in the open - 8 warp threads each = 8 pairs = 4 revolutions??? and for the center, say blue and orange (that would be a wild key fob!) I would put the blue in the heddle and orange in the open - 16 threads each??? Should the background color be in the heddles or in the open?
Thanks a bundle! I have one more trip to make this summer and am hoping to be able to do this project on the road. I miss weaving Andean pebbleweave!
