On the weekend, I finally had the opportunity to spend some Quality Time with the Baby Wolf. I measured 120 warp threads (in 2 colours), and got as far as getting the reed sleyed.
Still a ways to go — have to thread the heddles on the shafts, in the appropriate order, and get the warp threads actually attached to the front and back beams.
I’m following the excellent, detailed instructions in Deborah Chandler’s “Learning to Weave”. While it’s slow going, it’s making sense so far, and seems like the sort of thing that will get faster as you learn what you’re doing.
Of course, actual weaving may be an entirely different matter!
