The only thing that made me cross over to metric was learning tapestry as my diploma was taught in metric. But I think I have now nailed it!Debbie Herdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359699747633424613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5795135579436355243.post-60451164999674744282012-08-10T17:41:59.389+10:002012-08-10T17:41:59.389+10:00This is why I remain on a upright loom with no hed...This is why I remain on a upright loom with no heddles - basically just a frame- this was the way I was taught originally at art school - and the only time I wove on a loom with heddles was at West Dean in Chichester - and then the loom was warped up by weavers who knew what they were doing!<br />I work mainly on 12 dpi as I love the look and effect of the weave.emmajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667426718817298585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5795135579436355243.post-82614052246455847322012-08-10T13:50:37.740+10:002012-08-10T13:50:37.740+10:00Hi Michelle, if you have a tapestry on your large ...Hi Michelle, if you have a tapestry on your large loom, put a thread through at the top in the back warps so that you pull them all to the front. Count the warps with a ruler across one inch, then across a few inches. This should give you the number of warps per inch. You can count them on a finished tapestry to give you some idea of the epi. I know what you mean by confusing!!!Debbie Herdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359699747633424613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5795135579436355243.post-21165923167363915052012-08-10T12:36:27.520+10:002012-08-10T12:36:27.520+10:00PHEW, that sounds *exhausting*!

I've figured out that the approximate warp sett I like is 10 epi - though I'm not sure whether it is *exactly* the same as my large loom, which is marked in 4cm spacings - confusing!<br /><br />I'm thinking of getting the Mirrix coils and attaching them to my Ashford large loom, and just calculating in epi for now on ... not sure :\Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328537289542406921noreply@blogger.com
