Hi all,
I'm prepping for my next project, which will feature painted warps in at least two (differently painted) warp chains. I need to wind this warp on my AVL warping wheel since I don't currently have a warping board, and I'd also like to mingle the warps in semi-random stripes. I have a sectional beam.
What is the best way to manage this? I was thinking of beaming on as I would on a plain beam. Unfortunately I see three problems with this: first, there are no loops at the back end of the warp when using the AVL warping wheel, so I would have to tie the ends together in a knot rather than running a rod through the loops and letting them self-adjust. Second, there is no raddle cross with the warping wheel. (I suppose I could use the teeth of the "comb" to create a raddle cross? Has anyone tried this?) Third, I'm not sure how to intersperse two chains when beaming on.
Any help or thoughts would be welcome, I haven't tried painted warps with my AVL warping wheel before.
Thanks!
Tien
