Kawashima Textile School 3: Preparing the warp

Kawashima Textile School 3: Preparing the warp warp1

(The next instalment from Kawashima Textile School…)

By Day 4 of school it is time to prepare the warp (and by now I am secretly wondering whether I actually get to do any weaving at all…!) I cannot believe how much preparation goes into this craft, and I will never look at a piece of fabric in the same way again. Respect to professional weavers!
