Warping my loom for prototype textiles for Formex (Sweden) and Tent (London) Design Fairs

1. Winding the warp

Weaving prototype designs for my textile collection to be shown at Formex in Sweden and Tent Design Fair in London in August and September 2013 respectively.

 

And the actual designs?  Just wait and see!

2. Warp chain (keeps the long warp threads from tangling)

The yarn, a lovely 10/1 silk-wool singles yarn, twists slightly because it´s unbalanced, making it harder to thread.  But it´s been pretty easy otherwise.  I´m using it at 10hpc.

4. Threading the heddles to “programme” the pattern

5. Sleying the reed to space the threads to get the weight, width and handle of fabric that the project requires.
