Just as my sniffly, sneezy, allergy-self was about to drift off to sleep last night, it hit me. I had pulled all of the old warp off the loom! You know what that means…no tying on of the new warp to the old warp. This will be a totally clean start. Many opportunities to make threading mistakes, awkward positions while getting that warp through the heddles and reed. Instead of the one day to get that warp on, who knows? I love this Cranbrook, but I’ve never found a really good, easy way to get up close and personal with this loom. The beater assembly is really heavy, the breast beam requires serious undoing, but I guess I’m going to grit my teeth and do it!
There is a discussion thread about Crannies and Counterbalance and Countermarch looms on Weavolution.
Thanks, Claudia. I looked and haven’t found (so far) anything that pertains to this warping situation. Do you have a link? I’m probably just going to have to get some help to remove the beater assembly or thread heddles from the back. It’s just that the warp is then coming over my shoulder.
My site UY9 covers a lot of topics about Thai-Massage and I thought we could greatly benefit from each other. Awesome posts by the way!
