When I am winding for a piece at 60 epi, even just using 2 cones of yarns so shortens the time (and lessens shoulder and back issues) it takes to warp, that it is worth making the second cone.<BR/>Barbara, thanks for telling us who you are! This is not a difficult technique to master. The learning curve is really relatively short.Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-5552891372749417052008-03-25T05:29:00.000-07:002008-03-25T05:29:00.000-07:00Thanks for the details, Peg! You are right, I am ...Thanks for the details, Peg! <BR/><BR/>You are right, I am treating all the ends as one as I carry them around the cross pegs. It never occurred to me that you could do otherwise (just wasn't taught that way to me) so this is very enlightening. Most of the time my technique works just great, but there are certain situations where I would prefer a thread by thread cross and your technique would be most helpful. In the past, I have returned to winding with only one end in hand in these situations. Now I have a new technique to try to master which should ultimately speed up my process when working with these special warps!<BR/><BR/>Barbara (previously unintentionally posted as ANONYMOUSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904270845559593827.post-56529840174556843352008-03-24T20:40:00.000-07:002008-03-24T20:40:00.000-07:00Very interesting posts on this.

I can see though how they would be very helpful, false cross notwithstanding!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
