In this case, I was working with an asymmetrically painted skein of yarn and I wanted to preserve the blocks of color. If I warped it normally, the colors would have been all mixed up together (sometimes a nice effect, but I wanted to try something different, here). By warping around the outside, I was basically expanding the skein from a 50" circle to a 100" circle, allowing the blocks of color to stay more or less in place in the warp, and making the warp long enough to work with. Make sense? :)skiingweaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07816588515156925458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507123212155579234.post-36946169948111913282009-08-23T07:13:14.642-05:002009-08-23T07:13:14.642-05:00I enjoy your blog and seeing the lovely scarves yo...I enjoy your blog and seeing the lovely scarves you weave.<br /><br />I'm curious about something in this post, why do you wrap the yarn around the edge of the warp board, instead of zig-zaging from side to side?Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507123212155579234.post-78532053153797518542009-07-28T19:13:34.836-05:002009-07-28T19:13:34.836-05:00Beautiful collection of scarves you've got han...Beautiful collection of scarves you've got hanging there. <br />One of my favorite things to make is painted warps. And I like to shift them around to make that sort of flame point effect. I like how you just tugged to bring it into place.
