Did the next step today which was to sew the warp up on the stick you attach to the beam. Then I was done with that, I went to the MNT classroom and collected the warp-weighted weights and I was not happy to see that what I sorted so well now wherein a big mess, so the first thing I hade to do is to sort it all again.

As I finished sorting yesterday I now could start looking for a weight that fitted the range of 15g per thread. So stones weighing 150, 300, 450. I used a dish-brush to pull all threads evenly. And attached the weights, put in the chain that workes as the reeds in a floor loom. And then I started heddeling.

Finished the heddeling and found that I didn't draw the warp straight than I did the crochet chain so I hade redo it.
