I haven't made a loom like yours, Estrid, but am using my tablet weaving loom.<BR/>The warp is cotton, which I was hoping would be a good thing and easier to retension than wool. So far I've not had a problem with tension but then I've only done a couple feet of it so far. <BR/>The main complaint I have so far about the rigid heddle brocade is that I cannot find heddles fine enough to make relatively thin silk braids. At this point I'd hate to have to revert to tablet weaving.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03395433946383596838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745652024844338197.post-38045878481267101352008-04-22T10:09:00.000-07:002008-04-22T10:09:00.000-07:00This is stellar information.

I think Siubhan's apprehension is about this has to do with her having to help me retension my massive wool weaving project! You are correct that retensioning a much smaller rigid heddle piece. You are also correct that Siubhan's piece is amazing!<BR/>Namaste,<BR/>JahanaraJahanarabanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619162782839033396noreply@blogger.com
