\"warp<\/a><\/p>\n

How beautiful is that warp?! My brain can’t stop thinking about what I’ll use for weft and what I’ll make out of the fabric that I weave. But first I have to weave the 2 wraps for KG. <\/p>\n

I got the warp beamed, threaded, and tied on to the front apron. I wove about 8″ and then stood up. Uh oh! My apron has a tear in it!<\/p>\n

\"apron<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m betting this is the original canvas apron, from when the loom was built in the early 1950s. Even canvas has a life span, especially when it’s repeatedly subject to high tension. If you look closely at the picture you can see that I’d previously had to hand sew the hem at this end of the apron.<\/p>\n

I need to replace the apron, but can’t do that in the middle of a warp. So it needs to be fixed temporarily. I sewed it closed.<\/p>\n

\"apron<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, just for kicks, I put a piece of clear packing tape over the sewing repair.<\/p>\n

\"apron<\/a><\/p>\n

I will go to Joanns and buy canvas to have on hand for a permanent repair that I’ll make as soon as this warp comes off the loom. It’s IMPORTANT. I’ll buy enough canvas to replace the apron on the warp beam, too. And the aprons on my counterbalance loom.<\/p>\n

True confessions…I ‘repaired’ the warp beam apron on my counterbalance loom with clear duct tape many months ago. Although it has held, it looks like crap and I suspect if this loom saw the kind of action that the Macomber does that tape would have failed long ago.<\/p>\n

A weaver who doesn’t take care of her tools is a fool. So say I. And I am too often a fool. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
