I love sampling at the end and find by the time I reach the end of a warp my thoughts have gelled and I have a new idea, most work and I think for me it is freeing to know that it would be wasted otherwise. Want to try loom shibori next and will certainly try to sign up for the workshop - I work full time so sometimes the workshops are when I am working at teaching full time and teaching weaving part time - does not leave much time for me. Thanks for your comments, great blog. Linda Kaz,

Amazing how similar and yet different our work is. I love sampling at the end and find by the time I reach the end of a warp my thoughts have gelled and I have a new idea, most work and I think for me it is freeing to know that it would be wasted otherwise.

Thanks for your comments, great blog.

I warp from the front to the back, so the tangled warp passes through the lease sticks first then the raddle. This warp is only 5.5 metres long. I find this length more manageable for this kind of work. Kaz.

I do it the other way around. The tangled warp passes through the raddle first and then the lease sticks. I guess it doesn't make any difference since your ikat is so wonderful. I always just use a plain weave, but I am inspired to try a satin weave the next time I have a silk ikat on the loom. As soon as I get settled I plan to join Online Weavers. It sounds like fun.
