I tied each pair of warp threads together in square knots. Then I started weaving the loose ends back in. I used the threaders I mentioned before with mixed results. I snapped one right off. Then I tried a twisted beading needle, then a large gauge bead threader. I ended up going back to the punch embroidery needle threader and just being careful, careful, careful as I pull the yarns back through the weft.
I managed to get maybe a third of the ends woven in before I got tired of doing it. I will probably finish weaving them in tomorrow. Then I will have to figure out what to do with the warp ends. Now I am going to finish building the smaller loom and maybe warp it.
This looks great. mUst require a lot of patience to do the finishing
ReplyDeleteIt is a lengthy process. I usually do it in a few different sittings so as not to end up despising the piece. It works out okay, since I usually have half-a-dozen projects (or more) going at once.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is not to get side-tracked and leave it unfinished.
