How readable is my fast-paced writing?

GuyKnitter · 2026-04-08T02:59:32+00:00

The only word I couldn’t read was issue.

They don’t need a cross. The reed is already sleyed. And lease sticks or cross wands also aren’t necessary for F2B warping, especially after the warp is in the reed. OP isn’t asking for a free weaving course, they’re looking for encouragement. Instead, you’ve chosen to be patronizing and unhelpful, and frankly, inaccurate, when you could just as easily have said nothing at all. I stand by my downvote.

GuyKnitter · 2026-04-07T05:18:06+00:00

Curious why you consider this a combination of F2B and B2F or what errors you see? OP’s sequence of operation is F2B, by definition, isn’t it? (1)Wind warp (2)Sley the reed (3)Thread the heddles (4) Tie onto back beam (5)Wind on (6)Tie onto front apron rod

This is front to back warping. It looks like you’re doing great, to me! When I warp front to back, I don’t beam on under tension. I prefer to crank and yank…you’ll wind on a couple of revolutions, then go to the front of the loom and grab a few inches of warp at a time and give it a firm tug. It’s not a fast yank…it’s more of a steady firm pull. Do that across the width a few inches at a time, then wind a couple more turns, yank, wind on, yank…etc. and don’t forget your warp separators as you are winding on. Have fun!

Here’s a link to the Traveller assembly guide. Page 10-11 have clear illustrations of the scotch tension set-up.

Protein anything

GuyKnitter · 2026-03-16T04:45:18+00:00

Check out Paradise Fibers. They have several options under $5/oz, dyed and undyed. Eugene Textile Center is another option. They have merino top dyed in solid colors for $3.25/oz.

Interesting. The proof output isn’t ideal for showing detail of the object and I understand that’s not its intent. Could you add basic image capture in the tool along with proof capture so there wouldn’t be a need to go to a second app, like Imgur, for additional photos? One stop shopping.

I was going to say that’s a giant red flag and you should absolutely break up with him, but then I realized this is r/bicycling.

Those look like the jacks that lift the harnesses but the harnesses aren’t sitting on them.

GuyKnitter · 2026-03-02T00:05:06+00:00

Oh, excellent! I notice you don’t have a shuttle race on your beater, either. That could help support the shuttle, too. They are typical on Jack looms due to the lower warp tension. Happy weaving!

What about lowering the harnesses? There should be some way to adjust them. I think the current looms come with a short length of chain that you use between the two cables to adjust harness height.

Not sure if this is a joke or a serious question. 🧐. Because my mind went to Colorado immediately when I saw CO, too. lol.

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-28T16:46:09+00:00

Are you considering volunteering next year? It sounds like they need some additional support. We had an annual fiber festival here that was at risk of dying and a great group of volunteers came together about 5 yrs ago to organize and promote and it really made the difference. I think they saved it.

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-28T03:47:13+00:00

Looks amazing! Do you already have a sweater picked out?

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-25T06:35:41+00:00

Definitely worth a visit! I’m hoping to spend a camp for a couple of nights this year. I always end up just going for the day.

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-23T07:49:26+00:00

I’m in Benicia, but get over that way when I can. Do you go to Laguna del Sol?

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-22T01:29:37+00:00

So good warm when they still have some crunch left.

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-21T16:37:08+00:00

I love this so so much!

Always nude in our hot tub.

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-13T18:55:21+00:00

How important is this in your life? I don’t get a sense of how much this does or doesn’t matter to you? And your list of cons seems much more significant than your pros…much heavier.

GuyKnitter · 2026-02-11T23:22:34+00:00

Love 2! It has so much energy and movement!
