As I’ve been threading heddles and sleying the reed for the throw I found that I could be easily distracted, although to be honest it’s probably just old age forgetfulness!!  The sett is 15 ends per inch and I have a 12 dent reed on the loom. I have a 15 dent reed but a) it’s not wide enough for this project and b) it need a really good clean!  To get 15 epi in a 12 dent reed the sleying is 1,1,1,2 but where the two ends that go through the same dent are the same color it’s not immediately obvious that is the doubled one.  Simple solution – using a thinned down bamboo skewer I slip that into the dent when I put the second end through.  Count from there and when I hit the next double – move the skewer.  Now I can happily be distracted (often) and get right back into the sleying (I’m 2/3rds finished)

Another annoyance I have is slipping the heddles past the heddle bar holder on this wide project (heddles are all pushed to the sides).  I think I have a solution, but will have to get out to the workshop for that. More later
