I wonder if you had a bad batch of tencel like I think I had ? I also wondered about the twisting or untwisting effect and I actually tried reversing the offending side so that in theory it should have twisted the other way. I didn't find that was the answer. My home made temple seemed to help and I beat with my feet off the treadles and those two things seemed to make the difference.<br />Neat repair solution though and looking forward to show and tell !<br />Dorothydorothylochmabenhttp://dorothystewart.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-33067760461291899782011-09-23T11:42:41.658-07:002011-09-23T11:42:41.658-07:00Hi Carol...

I found that my FS got tighter and tighter as I wove and finally snapped. It seems easier to simply hang them and so the take up is adjusted as it needs to. <br />The trouble is the fraying and breakage but that seems to occur (for me at any rate) with the tencel and just the one side. Happily it doesn't happen with every warp but often enough to be really annoying!<br /><br />:) SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-53832089026291799212011-09-23T05:42:45.353-07:002011-09-23T05:42:45.353-07:00Pretty pics; I love the toadstool one-it would loo...Pretty pics; I love the toadstool one-it would look great enlarged and hanging on your kitchen wall!Delighted Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289187765260532813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-28256398979951650532011-09-23T04:01:41.315-07:002011-09-23T04:01:41.315-07:00Hi Susan,

If they loosen up over a long warp, I'll add a bit of weight to them behind the back beam. If I must add floaters seperately, I'll use two strands (finer thread if possible) so they twist around each other and don't weaken.<br />From the snippet you show, I can tell the scarves are lovely!Carolhttp://studiotupla.comnoreply@blogger.com
