Preparing to weave fine cloth is no small task. The warp for the table runner I'm weaving next calls for 452 2.25yd long warp threads (24 epi). It took me about 6-7 hours on Sunday to measure out, and that was with running three threads at a time! #weaving
@kyle 😮 I haven't woven anything truly fine yet, and I both dread and look forward to it!
@tinybirds My previous project (overshot napkins, https://social.librem.one/@kyle/108085921478789215) used the same size 10/2 cotton for the warp and had 480 ends!
The most time-consuming/tedious part was dressing and in particular threading the loom (https://social.librem.one/@kyle/107906986348065155).
I just tell myself it's the price I have to pay to get to the actual weaving, which is the part that is fun and rewarding. It makes you really appreciate pre-industrial fabric.
