Magic-Step Towels by Erica de Ruiter

555 warp ends threaded 25 epi: 12-dent reed with 1 extra thread per inch. 1 FS each edge. 4 shafts, 2 treadles.

I enlarged the pattern to make it more dramatic using finer cotton at a higher sett. There are four repeats of each section, both in threading and treadling (see draft photo).

I wound, beamed, and threaded using two sets of lease sticks (see photos). All light warp separated from all colored warp. This is the only way to go, IMHO.

Although I rarely tie on a new warp any longer, I plan to with this warp. It will be more efficient to tie on all the light ends, followed by all the colored ends.
