There is nothing better than a friend,
unless it is a friend with chocolate.
~ Linda Grayson
It seems I am being quarrelsome this week, but again, I am going to have to respectfully disagree - today, with Ms. Grayson. While a friend with chocolate is indeed quite a good thing to have, an even better friend to have is a friend who will prepare a weaving warp for you!
Yes, my weaving friend knew about all the problems I had with my loom bag and she took pity on me and she prepared a warp for my next project!
Take a look at how beautiful it is...
She wove a few rows at the front of the warp - you can see where her weaving ends and mine picks up - she used a red weft (mine is grey) and her stitches are tighter than mine:
Here are her string heddles - every one the exact same length:
And look how nicely spaced and completely untangled her warp threads are on the back shed rod:
Finally, the back beam - again, look how neat and tight her stitches are, and how evenly spaced the warp threads are:
It is a dream to weave with this warp! And I now have a much more concrete idea of what I'm shooting for when I prepare a warp.
Oh man, I can't wait until I can prepare warps this nicely!
And I can't thank her enough for doing this for me! It was an amazing gift! :)
