First warp

Warped with cottonlin from Helen

The loom worked very well, the only change we made was to round off the top of the reed holders to stop them catching the yarn. Initially the shed in the down position was quite small but this improved with use (possibly due to using a new reed which was slightly impeding the double strand of cottonlin). Also the tension wasn't very even so some warp strands were too loose. Next step is to make a stand. Total cost <£50 for wood, reed, cogs and warping sticks.
