After spending most of today threading my rigid heddle and wrapping the warp onto the apron, I'm looking for suggestions for making this easier. Mostly I've done direct warping and love it but I needed 3.5 yards of warp so I decided to try the indirect warping.
I thought I was holding the yarn right in my left hand (I'm right handed) picking the first/next warp end, threading the slot or hole of the heddle. My warp ends ended up crossed all over the place! Then when I went to wind the warp onto the apron, I had 'rat's nests' of yarn all over the place. It was very slow going.
So, I'm looking for hints on how to hold the warp ends in my hand and how to pick the appropriate end to thread next. I don't want to be limited to the length of warp I can comfortably use on the loom!
Thanks for helping me! Audrey
