yup, still at it but with a difference.or two.this loom was hacked to include an under-slung beater to improve weaving conditions.however the front tie rod was loo long to pass the sides of the beater and had to be cut.then the warp was also cut because there was no point in keeping the aggravation going.
sized it with agar agar which was the handiest easiest thing i had .just boil water sprinkle a teaspoon and wait till is gels.
it has strengthened the yarns considerably
and i am assuming breakage will be
minimized.also assuming some of
the slack in some yarns will disappear
and the overall tension will improve.
let's see how much i can weave without
despairing. all because i hate to cut this
beautiful misbehaving linen, sigh.
btw i am sold on agar-agar.
neki desu
