altivoHere's the loom with all 354 warp threads rearranged in the heddles to create the second overshot pattern of the project, "Single Chariot Wheel."
Each thread must still be drawn through a slot in the reed, a process known as "sleying." The reed is not visible in this photo because I removed it to make threading easier. You can just see some reeds (they come in various sizes and densities) leaning against the wall behind the loom. I'll do that tomorrow morning when daylight returns, as these fine threads are difficult to see and I don't want to have to redo it to correct an error.
Then the weaving begins again with a new design. I'll post as soon as I have a sample of what it looks like. I expect to take a couple of days off work this week to catch up on the weaving, as I need to finish ten squares by Sept. 7.
