and the great ASHFORD 6 CONE YARN STAND /HOLDER HERE

her first warp using the Kenzo system here she will take home you own ready made warp roll

second warp she wanted to weave two skinny warps at a time so she wound a warp and we didvided it in two sections so now she has warp two done to take home to on her Saori loom

warp three in day one! this was 7- 8 yards long and 23 wide

while she wound her 3 warp francine came to learn how to thread a new black cotton ready made warp on the table top system …

just enough time left to beam on and the end of a very productive first day

day 2 was threading using the Kenzo system ...
