    Is there some point on the learning curve where tablet weaving =
warping becomes simple? =20

  I found a simple way.  I have the use of Medwaeg's Oseberg loom =
replica - which is very like a bed-head.  To warp it I wind the wool =
round the full length of the loom continuously until I have the right =
number of strands.  At one end post, the wool just goes round the =
outside, aqt the other I take one extra turn around the post - this =
gives each strand enough extra length for tying. Then I cut them all at =
once, close to the double wrapped post. Then I thread and tie every warp =
strand separately (very tightly).  The warp is able to move around the =
posts of the loom, so once I get started, I can sit and weave 11 feet of =
braid without having to move from my place - unless of course I have to =
fetch my own drinks! (11ft takes me about five hours weaving time, one =
hour warping-up)=20

  Sorry if this makes little sense, but I've never tried to write it =
down before...=20
