Hello:
I just finished threading my loom with a huck lace pattern and while sleying I noticed that I have one extra thread right in the middle of the warp. It is threaded 1-4-1-4-1-2-3-2-3-2 and I have one group where there is an extra 1 right before the 2. Could you advise me how to handle this extra thread? If I double it up will it cause an obvious raised up area in my weaving? Many thanks!
Extra warp thread in Huck threading
Hey. That’s happened to me recently. (I warp from back to front). I put a different colored thread around the extra thread to keep it easily identifiable. The warp had several colors so when I came to that color as I was threading the heddles it was immediately apparent that one thread was extra. I followed it down and pulled the extra thread out of the group very gently and separated it from the rest of the warp . I left it hanging off the back of the loom and that was it. I monitored it as I advanced the warp to make certain it didn’t cause problems. I finished the piece and the extra thread hanging off the back of the loom caused no issues. There was nothing noticeable where the thread had been removed when I finished the piece.
Best of luck!

Thank you, that's what I will do.
