It there much more satisfying than a firm, just-beamed, fine linen warp? At forty-eight ends per inch, this 16/1 linen put up a bit of a fight. It is only my second time using a warping trapeze. Thank you @duellingrabbitshandweaving for your advice and kind reassurance that practice will make things easier 😊
This warp will be woven in a two block damask stripe. I will be drawing directly onto the warp with sumi. Very excited to get on with these sketches. But first I’ve got some amateur carpentry to do as I’ll need a couple extra shaft bars and lamms.

First fine yarn samples spinning from the lock. The results are fairly promising and I’m getting better at it with each little sample skein. Spinners, anyone with tips on smoothing things out a little would be much appreciated.
