I used a straight threading on 12 shafts and the weave structures are a mixture of basket weaves and huck. Started the project in April last year but it wasn't until January this year that I finished them off. Two of them are now in regular use.<br />

Overview</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The loom is a hybrid consisting of;</div>
<ul>
<li>Frame, beater assembly, front and back warp, cloth and knee beams. <b>GLIMAKRA STANDARD</b> (120cm weaving width)</li>
<li>Shedding mechanism and harnesses; <b>TOIKA EW24 CONTROL UNIT</b> (Dobby) with <b>24 SHAFTS</b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The photo below shows the loom. It is a Glimakra Standard with a Toika Control unit which can be seen on the top of the loom. The control unit manages each of the 24 shafts via weaving software which is installed on the laptop. The whole mechanism is activated by the pedal which can be seen on the floor.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I bought the 10 shaft 120 cm Glimakra Standard Countermarch loom (2nd hand) in mid-2011 and later in the year I imported and installed the Toika EW24 Control unit. The installation involved removing the countermarch mechanism and shafts and replacing them with the Toika Control Unit and 24 shafts. My <a href="https://gangewifre.blogspot.com/search/label/Toika%20EW24W" target="_blank">blog posts</a> show what was involved in this upgrade.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since then this has been my main loom. I have found it the most versatile and easy to use set-up. I have enjoyed all the benefits of a big "European Style" loom combined with effortless operation and shaft configuration. Most of the posts in this blog after 2011 relate to work that I have done on this loom.</div>

The loom is equipped with two warp beams. The picture on the left shows the double warp beam set-up whilst that on the right shows the operation with just a single beam. Note that this is a <a href="http://www.glimakrausa.com/sectional-warp-beam" target="_blank">sectional beam</a>.</div>

For details about the Glimakra Standard Counter-march loom have a look at the <a href="http://www.gavglimakra.se/en/portfolio/glimakra-standard-countermarsch-loom/" target="_blank">Glimakra web site</a>. I have kept all the counter-march components (see photo below) so the loom can be reverted to its original state.</div>

I subsequently sold the loom and the temple has been carefully packed away for about ten years.<br />
<br />
I have an AVL WDL which I haven't used for about 6 years - I recently took it out of its packaging, gave it a good clean and got it ready to weave again. So that I could move it about I built a wooden dolly which the loom sits on very nicely. <br />
<br />
Once the loom was on the dolly it occurred to me that the dolly might make a firm base for a framework to hold the rotary temple. I adopted a "suck it and see" approach to the design, clamping various bits of wood into place until I something that would hold the mounting brackets in the correct position. I screwed and glued it all together, put on the brackets and track and it works. I am still using clips to secure the framework in place until I think of something slightly more elegant.<br />

We spent a week in Mandvi, Gujarat, staying at the Rukamavati Guest House. I was fossicking around in their linen cupboard when I came across a cotton towel; this is a close up picture of it.<br />

and I have just recently woven two samples from it in Patons regal 4 ply cotton. I set one at 10 epi and one at 12 epi. The tighter set seemed to work the best.<br />

They are not the most elegant things that I have woven but I use them as dish cloths on a daily basis and I am so pleased with them that I shall weave some more.<br />

A group of us went away for a "weaving retreat" and I was taught how to do this by my friend Anne. The idea is that we get together and weave, dye and exchange ideas and skills.<br />

We are off on another retreat next week. For some reason I didn't post anything on the blog last year; I shall this time.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have had a brief bout of flu which put me back a bit but everything is now back on track. I have woven the sample and the first 500 picks so the scarf should be finished over the weekend.</span><br />

Some observations;<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">I really need to do a photography course. I can only get a realistic colours if I take pictures in day light. The picture montage below give a slightly better idea of the colours.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222;">28/2 Alpaca Silk for the ground and 18/2 Wool Silk work very well together. I was slightly apprehensive that they might be too sticky to work at the close setts involved when using supplementary warps but the sheds are separating very nicely.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was having a problem with the warp from my end feed shuttle catching at random intervals with a nasty effect on the selvedge. After a lot of stuffing around I discovered that it was being caused by a fairly compact wad of felted fluff deep in the Honex mechanism of the shuttle. If I only I ever have to clean them every 8 years I can't complain.</span></li>
</ul>

I am not sure if Brocade and Supplementary Warp are synonymous but I am going to call my next project "Brocade Scarf" as I am intending to achieve a subtle ribbon effect. We shall see.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4LWqLs1wUBLGw5gsH0CJoarcmQbZxQ_iAQS2zeVQh807jWaaAln8LV74W-y9zqYNGHCgpozUPWVoLxHKTYg2ITpz8t6fMdO5thnFsPQCn3WojDnBaqDPca2dqKV4tokphsgL6Rc5VvOc/s1600/BRC_PLW+4S_Pat+14S_School+Special+%25232.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4LWqLs1wUBLGw5gsH0CJoarcmQbZxQ_iAQS2zeVQh807jWaaAln8LV74W-y9zqYNGHCgpozUPWVoLxHKTYg2ITpz8t6fMdO5thnFsPQCn3WojDnBaqDPca2dqKV4tokphsgL6Rc5VvOc/s640/BRC_PLW+4S_Pat+14S_School+Special+%25232.png" width="216" /></a>The picture to the left shows the pattern; the colours are overstated. Some of the colours that I am using are quite close but I need a clear distinction in my weaving software so that I don't mess up the warp winding or threading.<br />
<br />
The actual yarns, 28/2 Alpaca Silk for the ground and 18/2 Wool Silk for the pattern warp (I hope that the sheds clear!), are shown below.<br />
<br />
<br />

When I was putting the ground warp onto the bottom beam I discovered that the sectional warp beam above it (where I shall be putting the pattern warp) serves very nicely as an additional raddle.<br />
<br />

<br />
I am putting on a 4 yard warp for one scarf: a sizable sample and some left over for tying on the next warp which a has got to be the way to go. In the past I have tied on behind the shafts but with two warp beams in position I shall have to do it in front of the shafts. </div>

I ended up with a much bigger sample than planned because I over estimated draw-in and shrinkage in the length. Its cotton, not wool! Also the PPI off the loom seemed to relax to 20, not my target 24. I washed and ironed the sample yesterday.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today the weather has been atrocious - I have been at the kitchen table twisting the fringe and winding some wool for my next project. Tomorrow I shall finish the scarf (the second one can wait) and start on warping up for my next project which will be some more supplementary warp bit in wool this time.<br />

The software that I use, Weavepoint, has the facility to play a sound when the weft colour changes. On my draft the weft colour changes every 24 picks so that the computer goes "ping" to remind me to advance the temple and the beater. I listen to music whilst I am weaving and the "ping" was too faint. I now have a couple of speakers sitting on the front cross member of the loom.<br />

Well, I am up and running and the weaving progresses. It took a little while to get the tensions of the various warp elements correct but I think that I have it now. The last piece I wove was 10 ppi; this one is 24 (well 22.5 actually, but hey) so I am not going to rattle it off in a day.<br />

<br />
This is a view of the cloth beam; note the generous use of sticks. At the moment they are covering up the tie-on knots but they will continue to prevent uneven tension because of the different thicknesses of the weaving.<br />

I wrote a <a href="http://gangewifre.blogspot.com.au/2015/09/selvedge-rollers-aka-selvedge-beam.html" target="_blank">post</a> 10 months ago about some Selvedge Rollers that my brother Gregory had made for me. This followed on from a previous post where I wrote about a rather Heath Robinson arrangement that <a href="http://gangewifre.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/selvedge-rollers.html" target="_blank">I had concocted</a>.<br />
<br />
Well, now I have the rollers in place and functioning. They are mounted on a steel rod which is held in place by metal brackets on an extra beam which I have clamped onto the back of the loom. A webbing strap runs from the bottom of the beam up over the brake drum part of the rollers and down to some weights which can be adjusted to control the tension on the selvedge thread. The second photograph shows the selvedge thread coming of the roller and extending forward to the heddles. All good stuff and I am very happy. I can have no excuse now for knurley selvedges.<br />

The two pictures above show the pattern warp lifted up out of the way and kept up by weighted cords hung over the top of the beater. Some literature suggested tying on the warps together, some said to separate them; I decided on the latter approach. Lifting the pattern warp out of the way made it easier to tie on the ground warp</div>

I laced on the ground warp. I use a constrictor Knot to attach the cord to the apron rod and a netting shuttle to hold the cord whilst I am putting the lacing in place. I am using 2mm nylon Venetian Blind Cord.</div>

The lacing on is complete. It is my preferred method for getting an even tension. (<a href="http://peggyosterkamp.com/peggys-weaving-tips-tips-lacing-warp/" target="_blank">http://peggyosterkamp.com/peggys-weaving-tips-tips-lacing-warp/</a>)<br />

Here the pattern warps have been tied onto the apron rod. I used a length of cord (green) to tie on each bout. I have advanced the warp so that he apron rod is just clearing the breast beam<br />

This is the initial weaving. It is all a bit sloppy at this stage before I have properly adjusted the warp tension and got the correct tension on my shuttle.<br />
<br />
There is an errant tan thread right in the middle of the weaving which I had to correct. Fortunately it was a just a case of colour transposition and heddles out of order rather than a missing heddle.<br />
<br />
<br />

A bit more weaving after the mistake has been corrected. The tension is about right. I am only getting 18 ppi rather than the target 24 so I will need to weave another 6" to get the feel for that before I start weaving proper. This is the exciting bit!<br />

Threading and Sleying</h3>
<div>
I have been tag threading - do 12 ends then get up and do 5 minutes housework before returning to thread another 12 ends and then back to the domestic stuff and so on.<br />
<br />
From what I have read there are two ways of threading the two warps;<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Thread the ground warp first leaving empty heddles for the pattern warp, then thread the pattern warp </li>
<li>Do both warps at once</li>
</ol>
<br />
The first method seemed to me to be fraught with danger so I just started with the first thread and went from right to left across the complete threading. It was all very straight forward; I was however very careful and constantly checked my work.</div>

Putting on the Pattern Warp</h3>
Putting on the pattern warp had a few complexities and at times I wished I had smaller hands but all went well. Once the second warp beam and back beam are in place there is not much room.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After putting the warp onto the sectional warp beam I put little weights onto each bout to keep them tight and under control when I unwind in preparation for putting in the lease sticks. There are more EPI in the centre sections hence the disparity in length; 6" over 7 yards which will have to be watched later on for tension problems.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The bouts are hanging down the back of the loom. The sectional warp beam is at the top of the picture and the weights are out of sight at the bottom. The green wool is securing the crosses which have to be moved so that they are all level</span><br />

Planning and winding the ground warp</h3>

It worked quite well so I am using this yarn again for the ground weave of the Supplementary Warp Scarf that I have started work on - a summer fashion statement!<br />
<br />
For the pattern warps I shall be using some 10/2 Perle Cotton that has been sitting in my stash since I bought in Pennsylvania nine years ago. I am hoping to get a good contrast between the mercerized and un-mercerized cottons.<br />
<br />
For the draft I have used elements from the Juanita Giradin scarf that I had analysed ( see previous post) but with enough changes to transition it from pure plagiarism to a thematic variation. The picture above is a graphic representation (from WeavePoint) of what I am aiming for.<br />
<br />
Normally the information needed to wind the warp can be taken from the threading plan but I<br />

needed to separate out the information for the ground warps (shafts 1 to 4) from the pattern warps (5 to 10). I did this by importing the [WARP COLORS] section from the .wif file into MS Excel and doing a bit of manipulation to get a "Winding Plans" for both the pattern and the ground warps.<br />

I am in the habit of taking a photo of the warping board or reel with the guide string in place. This averted a disaster once when I removed the guide string with the first warp chain before I had wound the second. In this instance my wife has made an unscripted appearance.<br />

A bit of research</h3>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8I-Sp26fHyDoQZBdvWWF0zDlTflbOZvJAjUnrrRlwF4s_vwxMLH4tVblZ1xAggAH16CxmZNC3d6rBxNNKH5Od4pI84Bhg6mGwGsFe-kLHKjR_ff2TXtZKchmLFZXKMwnXGutdxnNbBFw/s1600/Scarves+-+Juanita+Girardin+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br /></div>

Since I got back from the UK last year I haven't done any weaving. I am not sure why not; it just seemed that nothing was interesting enough to justify the effort. I was still interested in weaving and read various bits and pieces and did some designing on my weaving software but ennui set in whenever I contemplated actually doing some work.<br />
.<br />
Whenever Handwoven bring out electronic versions of their magazine I buy them so I now have every issue from 1988 to 2015. I was browsing through some of the older ones when I was rather taken by the front cover of the Nov Dec 1988 issue and the corresponding pictures inside on some scarves by Juanita Girardin. There were no drafts in the issue, just the information that they were in plain weave with an 8 shaft supplemental warp.<br />
<br />
<br />

The world wide web is a wonderful thing so I soon came to <a href="http://www.juanitagirardin.com/Collections/HandwovenArchive" target="_blank">this page</a> with loads of examples of Juanita Giradin's work. Lassitude was dissipated and I read everything that I could on supplementary warp/brocade.<br />

I looked for as many examples as I could; the majority of the articles in Handwoven were by Barbara Walker and <a href="http://www.barbarajwalker.com/" target="_blank">her site</a> has some lovely examples of what can be done with supplementary warps.<br />
<br />
I took the photograph of one of the scarves and reversed engineered it to produce a draft. I used pixeLoom to produce the draft and WeavePoint's excellent fabric view to check my work. . These are the notes that I made at the time.<br />
