First time using the new handbuilt warping wheel. Maybe a little slower than bobbins and tension box for a warp with many colour changes, but much less fiddly, more sure and less stressful. Also much less waste! I had to make a couple of changes to the wheel, I realised the arm holding the raddle for winding on was on the wrong side of the wheel (it would have had to rotate the wrong way) and I moved the holder to align better with the warp on the wheel.
This next project will be an extended advancing twill on 8 shafts in 8/2 cotton with a set of 25epi - it'll make a bedhead cushion, a scarf and maybe something small.
