Blocks/Point Draft/Beams

I decided to try weaving in blocks, it was important to use 2 beams as I planned to weave heavily in block A (shafts 1-4) and leave floating threads and sections in block B( shafts 5-8). I used a point draft for the threading.

Rolling the warp onto the table was more difficult than usual as the beams on the loom could not be removed.

Winding on the 2 beams was more difficult but the pre woven sections helped keep the threads in place and the tension even.

When weaving began, many threads in block B, the linen section broke,  it wasn't suitable for a warp.
