Traditionally in weaving you use a weft yarn that fits into the space between two warps so it would normally be a similar thickness to the warp, if you are finding it difficult to cover the warp you are possibly weaving a little too tight though your edges look straight.<br />On a small loom this is difficult to do but on a larger width you make small waves across with the weft a little above your previous pass and then beat them down so the weft isn't to tight. Hope that makes sense.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300029654181323351noreply@blogger.com
