There are 1000 threads on my loom. It is no wonder it took so long to thread...especially where I had to make a few hundred heddles. Monday we are driving up to Plessiville to buy more thread. This time two ply, in hopes that I can maybe make something this summer other than piles of string.
The original warp, from three years ago is going to be burned in effigy tomorrow...I might ask the guy down the street for some of his pre-lit charcoal in order to make the pile of mess go up faster. The 1000 threads that are currently on the loom will be wound off carefully and possibly used as weft threads.
as the ladies at Williamsburg said "It's only string".
and since we are in drought conditions this summer, I didn't end up burning it...just threw it in the trash instead. I suppose I could have composted it. Too late now.
