Ready to Tie Up the Treadles!
Tracy Bromwich
My current warp on the Glimakra is beamed, threaded, sleyed and tied to the front beam! All 960 threads. Now for the fiddly part of tying up the treadles. I need to pause and enjoy it for a bit just the way it is! Here are some pics from along the way.
Early morning, winding onto the beam from the spool rack.
Late afternoon, continuing the same.
The completed warp.
Close up of the colors - they range from purples, through magenta, coral and orange.
Threaded onto 8 shafts - my first 8-shaft project on this loom.
Sleyed - this is a 15-dent reed.

This will take me some time to complete!
