my take

for what is worth.don't have a warping wheel and don't have space for one.the tension box doesn't go with the louet set up and would have to hack it.
front of the loom : a chain weighted  with a knitting machine weight.










cross coming from the raddle. comb from tension box clamped to the back of the loom

from the comb to the section on the beam.easy peasy. altogether  solved the issue of twisting chains.

next warp

not yet the proverbial 100 hours needed to perfect the craft of sectional warping so it still looks amateurish. after threading i will need to size the yarns again with agar-agar.but it's a short narrow warp so no big deal. the silk warp is all dyed with carrot tops , eucalyptus and some madder.the weft is murasaki.

need to cut the stencil to be printed randomly on the warp.
