365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Taking Up Slack
Even with my revised warping system using bag clips to ease out slack, I still wound up with quite a bit at the end of this band, particularly in the green pattern threads. Fortunately, it was possible to work it back toward where it was tied on, so there were no issues in the structure of the band itself, but had the warp been any longer, the threads would probably have become hopelessly tangled. X-ty-x Scandinavians have used Leksand-style looms over the years without difficulty, so it must be something I'm doing wrong. With that thought in mind, I have had an insight I'll be trying as my next experiment.
