Setting up my loom..

Here are some snaps of the progress and work that goes into setting up the warp for a loom, in this particular stage of the cycle, I unfortunaley for myself made a mistake when winding up my yarn, I doubled the amount of ends that I had, so ended up with a warp that was double the amount and length that it should be, so with mine being extra big, it also meant that this stage of the proccess took me longer, but with an eye for weaving, this didnt cause me any major problems, and only gave me the opportunity to work bigger, not only with my drawing and development work but now my weaving samples too, this was a challange that I couldnt wait to start.

I chose a red and cream lambswool yarn for my warp, so that I had the combination of a subtle yarn with a splash of a much more statement and bright yarn.

The pictures below show the process of threading up my loom, each thread of yarn carefully being pulled through the eye of the needle, and the yarn being wound onto the loom once everything was threaded up correctly.
