Says someone who once separated several skeins of 2-ply in order to fill out a warp of singles - I am stubborn that way. <br /><br />I have two suggestions, neither of which are miraculous but hopefully might help bit (or at least provide moral support):<br />1) wrap the separated singles strands onto lacing shuttles, or into balls that can be fixed (elastic, paper clip, whatever works) and then periodically let them dangle to remove the extra twist. <br />2) work only on the length of an individual warp thread - this cuts the job into hopefully more manageable sections. Store the separated threads on a warping board or mill to build up the section, then you can thread it through the tension box and wind on. Also tedious, but I once saved a painted warp that had got hopelessly snarled in the rincing bucket this way.<br /><br />Finally, when working on it, set yourself up in a comfortable chair, with a nice view, maybe a podcast, and a cup of tea (or a large glass of wine!) and enjoy the feeling of preserverence!<br /><br />Good luck!<br />KarenLoom With A Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849426016828565814noreply@blogger.com
