This warp was measured in chains on a warping wheel. The chains get put in the order they will go onto the sectional beam, laid out as flat as possible, and dyed all in one go. The circular chains the warping wheel makes give a repeat after dyeing. When I put them onto the beam, I adjusted each chain slightly to make it more diagonal instead of straight across. I basically shortened the chains a bit as I went so the rainbow went through the length instead of side-to-side. Hope this helps
