Here is the last of the Mocha series warps being wound. At 10 towels each warp, they will have boosted my inventory by 40 towels. Still haven't settled on a price for them yet because they do have linen in them, but these are 2/8 cotton rather than 2/16 so they should be cheaper...but by how much? I am really quite pleased with how they have turned out but the colour way is on the 'brown' side so perhaps not as appealing as a different colour.
If I had a crystal ball that actually worked I would be able to know what would appeal to people. Ah well, that's part of the challenge!
And you will notice that I really do set my tubes up so that the yarn feeds off from the end. There are lots of people who will tell you this is a really bad idea, because from one end of the tube twist will be added; from the other end twist will be subtracted. Recognizing that this might cause a problem, I decided the solution was to continue, but always take the yarn off the same way. My tubes are therefore set up to wind off counter clockwise. Why? I don't remember. But if you can't be perfect, be consistent!

I, too, always wind off the tubes counter clockwise. I found that by ding this that the edge threads didn't fall apart as I was weaving. With your warping board, how do you put in the cross, or it's just not shown in the picture?
