- Weaving Advice: Warp back to front to reduce abrasion from the reed. Misting the warp or fingers improves fiber flexibility. Consider sizing the warp for smoother results.
- Winding Tip: Hand-wind from the cone or use a swift and ball winder gentlyavoid center-pull yarn cakes to prevent tangling.
