I wanted to get a quick warp on the Glimåkra. I chose a block twill on 8 shafts and proceeded to wind a 10 inch warp of wool in assorted greens (yes - a variety of pickle colors).
I should add that for the last week I have had a horrible sinus infection, but battled on anyway. BIG MISTAKE. I counted cross threads and colors twice, got the warp beamed and look what happened - I was approximately 12 threads short. I ended up having to add in supplementary ends which no doubt will cause awful twisting problems in addition to the weave being a 3 shuttle weave. Just thinking about it makes my head ache even more! Maybe I really have got myself in a pickle.
