This 3 yard warp contains 360 ends wound off in 3 chains.
The sett is 20 epi. The raddle has 1/2" spaces.
Winding onto the back beam.
I have often thought there were an infinite number of errors a person could make during the weaving process. I am not overjoyed to point out a brand new error. Notice to the right of the space in the middle is a single dark blue end followed by 5 dark blue ends. Well, all 6 should be in the same heddle. I didn't notice this error until I finished putting all the threads through the heddles and came up with an extra thread.What to do? Get up and walk away. Do something else. Wait a day. Come back and find the mistake and fix it.
Tooling Up:
For the past couple of years, I have been experimenting with the finer weight bamboo yarn. Finally I decided to weave a horoscope weaving in Bambu 7 because the color choices were three times the number of colors than in the finer yarn. Sometimes having more choice is not an asset. Selecting the 12 colors that best represent the color wheel can be daunting. Every yarn company's color palette reflects the taste and discernment of that individual company.

The warp looks really good! The pictures of your colorful warps always make a gray day bright.
So did you figure out the problem? I just hate those little mystery problems... but you're right, you've got to let it have some time. It seems when I try to fix a major issue right then and there, I just make it worse!!
