Preparing for the work shirt cloth

Started warping the next weave today, its a bit fiddly as its so thin threads at least the thinnest I have ever worked with other than sewing thread. It's a 30/2 cotton. On top of that its a stripy weave with 4 white then 8 blue. So as I warp with 2 threads of each I just have to go up and then down with the white and then its time to do a knot to the blue. This did so I have to stay standing this time so it was a killer on my knees.

Pre sley today and again a fiddly first a 90/10 reed, then I did the pre reeding I fount some threads I missed the shed with some threads so had to fix that.

Put the warp in the loom and got on with what comes after that, Then my teacher saw the chunk of knots I created then warping she looked at me with pity and said ''I will show you a better way to warp stripy things so you don't need to do all these knots''. The way you could do it is to do two warp braids one in each colour and then you put one in the reed leaving the gaps that the other should have and then you put in the other. One could also use a warping stick but I don't know how that work. Here in Forsa, they tie up the heddle sticks differently than we did at Bäckedal. Hope this picture explains it.

Got a good chunk of the headdeling done to today. 

On the afternoon, I started to sew in the leather eyelets on the tent.

Finished the heddeling and started with the sleying today, it takes some time as the

threads twist with each other and the dents are tightly packed. Apparently white cotton tangle more than coloured do my teacher told me.
