Winding the Warp for My Double Weave Double Width Blanket

I'm finally ready to wind the warp for my double weave double width blanket, using my hand spun yarn. I have to be careful to take into account the stretchiness of the Shetland wool when measuring out the correct length. I demonstrate how to do this and then show how I measure out the warp.

Great video! Beautiful colors. I hope you'll be posting progress videos along the way.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Thank you! I will be definitely be showing g the double weave process. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the tip on measuring out stretchy yarn for your warp. I’m interested to see how your project goes.

[@tangledwebsweaving]

You are so welcome! I finally got the new reed so I'm starting to beam the warp. I'll post my progress. Thanks for watching.

I’ve been so excited for you to start this as I have no idea what the technique is going to be for a double weave. 🤯😵‍💫🤔What software do you use? I’ve been wanting to purchase something.

I've been excited to start it too ~ Someone described this project as having it's own time-zone! It keeps getting delayed for one reason or another. But I finally got everything I need and started warping it yesterday. Stay tuned for the video! Thanks for watching.

I forgot to address your software question. It depends on if you use a PC or Mac. I use Fiberworks Bronze on a PC and iWeaveIt on the iPad. Fiberworks makes a Mac version but I think iWeaveIt is a better product for the Mac and has software for the iPad if you use one.

Having hard time where the quarter of a yard is. Looks like it would be a quarter of an inch

I may not have explained it very well in the video. The wool was measured at 3 3/4 yards (unstretched off the wrapping board). Once I wound it onto the warping board (with normal tension) it stretched to 4 yards, according to my non-stretchy cotton path string. If I would have measured 3 3/4 yds with the cotton string, then wound the wool I would have ended up with a short warp. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
