Loom

[sfandra]

I appreciate the advice about how to warp up stuff, but my problem really was that I had already CUT 300 yards of string, all at unfortunately slightly varying lengths, knotted them, and now was trying to manage them. In the future, yes, if I'm ever so mad as to do a massive 64 card warp using #3 crochet cotton, I will do a continuous warp (

You totally rock!

Neat.

BTW, A wide tooth comb can help untangle the mess on the ends when you go to advance the warp.

I understand the project sitting there thing.

I used a pick to comb out the strings initially. But until I built the loom, I had no decent control over the string or the cards. Now it's going along swimmingly. I should be done this entire project: weaving & applying to the tunic - by Sunday.

Don't forget to wash the trim in the washer in a lingerie bag and hang dry before you hand stitch it on the garment.

It will help with any shrinkage...even cotton shrinks and the hand stitching, especially if you just use a long floating running stitch will let it float on the garment and adjust as the garment is worn and washed.
