In the case of this silk, apparently just leaving it at reduced tension overnight does the trick.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-85035091292603891722008-05-21T18:26:00.000-07:002008-05-21T18:26:00.000-07:00I have two temples which I've never used.

A wall is to the back of me as I sit at the loom so I don't have space to get a good view of it with the whole loom. That would give a better sense of proportion. Part of the reason, too, that it seems to make such a large statement is the choice of colors---rather assertive, I would say.
