I have heard that it is unwise to weave a project that spans the width of the reed. I would like to make the Huck Towels in the kit, but my loom width (Baby Wolf) is only 1/2 inch larger than towel dimensions in reed. Are there any tips for dealing with this situation? I realize I could remove a whole column of the Huck blocks, but I like the proportions of the design as is. Thank you!
Which project are you thinking of weaving? Could you remove a thread or two from each plain weave section? I leave at least a half inch from each side of my warping width. eg for my 23" loom, I weave a max of 22". This is trial and error and experience. On my sectional warp beam floor loom, no problem warping the entire width. For my experience, it's not the width in the reed, it's the width on the back beam.
