My yarn order should arrive today and I have a HUGE question. I am planning to make the dishtowels on page 67 of the Ashford Book of Rigid Heddle Weaving. The yarn is to be doubled, which I interpret as 2 threads in each dent and 2 threads in each hole. Correct? Now, for the really complicated part (for me): they use a 12.5 dent reed, thus will have 25 epi. I have a 10 dent reed, so in order to get 25 epi I would need 5 extra threads in my inch. Should I add an extra thread 5 times, evenly spaced out across the inch? Should these 3rd threads only be in slots to avoid overcrowding in the holes? Your help is greatly appreciated!
