Medico Table loom
Basic twill threading and various treadling for
the Patterns.
8/9 calculated warp needed for 3 towels and have warp measured
Per pattern suggestion I need 67.5 inches plus 12 inches min’ for loom waste. Which gets me 2.2 yards. I decided to make it 3 yards just in case. I had about 6" more than I needed maybe.
Needed all of one cone and only a few yards of the other for the warp. Hardly used any of the colors.8/10 Loom is warped. I had to correct a few errors and make some heddles :P I have started weaving but I’m, not get the ppi suggested. The best I’m doing is about 13 pp on the tabby. Maybe it will get better after I have woven more?
8/11 Took out all the weaving and tightened the warp and re-did the header yarn. Now I am getting closer 16 ppi. I looks much better. Need 2 good beats to the the weft just right.
On loom after weaving I’m getting 13” width so I have a take in of one inch so far. I still find selvages with tabby difficult. There was pull in on basket weave.
