inches

The first few inches of the linen sample. The basket weave portions should even out with washing. I've done several feet now, and am running into some tension problems-- I should have thought of this earlier. Because the handspun (the green single threads in the photo) interlaces much less often than everything else, it's getting slack. My current approach is to put a stick under the handspun threads at the back beam and weight it with fishing weights. It's helping. But the same problem happens in the basketweave stripes, though to lesser degree. Which makes me wonder how I would handle long warp. Perhaps it is time to get a second warp beam?

I'm completely in favor of the second warp beam...think of how much easier it will be to play with weave structure. Oooh.
