Warping

I have begun to warp the JACKET at last.

I lay out a section of the loomskin on a pin board (made of  many layers of thick cardboard) and place a pin everywhere the warp will need to make a turn. There is a row around the neck edge, along the hem, and where the shaping requires extra pairs of warps.

I did the buttonholes area in sections. These are some shorter bits of warp which I apply using a needle and thread through the holding stitches.

Then, I wind the warp continuously onto the pins.
