Wool on the loom

Since I haven't finished dyeing the green silks for Noemi's scarf warp, I decided to be daring and uncharacteristic of myself, and so I have wound a wool warp onto the AVL.  I didn't have nearly enough for a large blanket, but there is enough for a small one.  Point twill, I think, and I'll edge it in silk habutai when it has been wet-finished.

The wool is sett at 12 epi; I may have to re-sley into a 15-dent reed if the 12 turns out to not be dense enough.   On the other hand, the fulling of the wool might also be enough to make the proper density.

I have the warp about 18 inches wide and six yards long.  It's all on the warp beam; next step is to slide the crosses onto the lease sticks, mount them on the wires, and begin threading the heddles.

It's slightly comical to only need to thread 216 heddles and the warp is eighteen inches wide!
