Twisting in warp
I’m pretty consistently getting twists in my warp that I can see once I’m beaming on. The twists stay limited to the inch (not twisting all the way across the warp, more like sometimes the theres a twist within the inch that by the end of the warp makes some parts of the warp tighter/looser in tension).
\- I’m dressing the loom back to front \- I’m using a warping board \- I’ve recently added in a using a raddle cross as well to see if it would help, and it hasn’t really made a difference \- the most recent time I transferred the warp from the board to my loom, I was really diligent about making sure I held on to the loop at the very end of the warp to see if that’s when the issue arose, but i still had a bit of twisting happening.
Any tips on this issue? Is it happening during the warping process, the tying of sections (maybe I’m not being diligent enough), the transfer from the board to the loom, or how I’m specifically getting the warp on the back bar before starting to wind it on? Before I start winding on I try to make sure it doesn’t look twisted, but by the time i get up to the main cross, theres always a section or two that has a single twist in it.
Any help appreciated!!
Edit: I just wanted to update, my new warp went so well! I took all the suggestions and everything was super helpful. Cross at the bottom and using it as a “comb” while I wound on was super helpful and as far as I can see, no twists so far. Thank you!!
