Notes

I hybrid warped my Rigid Heddle Reed after watching AmyMcKnight’s youtube videos, using my upside down 24” Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom with the pegs they sell for it to convert it into a warping board, but instead of making a loose warp chain, you thread it through your reed onto a peg(s) past the reed , then move it to your look, finish slaying and lashing (I added 4 dowels as a tensioning device, with elastics holding them onto my pick up sticks, between the reed and back warping bar, as in RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane’s youtube video).

This let me get 5 yards of warp and have decent tension. Since it’s just cotton and I was almost out of warp separating paper in that width, I didn’t use any on the front cloth bar, but did on the back.
2 each of gray then ombre with another pair of gray at the end, for 33 pairs of gray warps and 32 pairs of ombre warps.

I adapted https://cottonclouds.com/blogs/news/a-mazing-possibilities by Jodi Ybarra of CottonClouds to use with my Bernat Handicrafter stash yarn in Overcast & Surf and Sand.

Then I used the same warp to create two additional designs. The first uses 6 picks each of Warm Brown (WB), Overcast, Jade Mist (JM), and White (Wh), repeated. The second uses 4 picks of JM, 12 of WB then repeats 3 sets of ( 2 JM, 2 Wh)x3, 2 JM, 12 WB), followed by 4 JM.
