The next step in warping the loom placing each individual warp thread through the slots in the reed, or sleying. 
This reed has 8 slots per inch, but I want my sampler to be 12 ends per inch, so I alternated one and two threads per slot.
Since I’m going to have white and green stripes in the warp, I do groups of 12 separated by gaps where the green will go.
Then I did the green:
Here is the back of the reed.
That’s all for today.

Oh my…I haven’t threaded a loom for 15 years….brought back nightmares… Hopefully, all will go well, no missed reeds and your weaving will be beautiful! Are you going to do a pattern weave or straight tabby?

Nightmares! You’re scaring me off!
Since my post I’ve threaded the headles (sp?) and did make 2 mistakes, but I was able to fix them.
I am doing a sampler, tabby and twills.
