Hello!
I am a new weaver and need a little advice. So far I have done two scarves that turned out well. Last night I warped my Cricket to make my first string of placemats. The piece is 15" wide... My weaving space is 15.5" on a 10 dent heddle. As you can see in the picture I'm attaching (hopefully ) one of my edges has fallen out of the paper bundles wrapped around the warp beam. I used tissue paper to separate my layers of warp.... I figured it was easy to fold and would not fold and mess up the tension on the center of the warp bundle... And all of that was true, but I have this problem on the edge. I know I need to re-slay this but I thought I would ask for advice for keeping the edge strings taught. The videos I have seen use paper bag strips or rolls of corrugated cardboard.... I looked for such a roll online and found it at Staples, but it is still as wide as my project, so falling off the edge will remain a problem.
Thoughts and suggestions? Would I be better off just dropping off that dark brown stripe and limiting myself to a 14 inch project on my 15 inch loom?
Thanks!
Leslie
Well... I can't figure out how to add the picture... I guess that is something else to ask! Thanks!
