I just started weaving on my new Louet Spring 2 loom and have put on a simple straight draw warp on 4 shafts. I will tie up the warp to weave twill with a plain weave hem.I discovered I had 2 extra threads while sleying and am wondering if I pull those threads out of the heddles and reed and let them drop off the back of the loom will it cause a problem when I’m finished weaving.
Thanks, Diane

Hi Diane, are they repeats? For instance 1/2/3/4 /3/4/ 1/2/3/4? If they are extras stuck in between 2 blocks of straight draw threading or tucked in a 1/2/3/4 threading,, pull them out - you'll be fine. The important thing is to have a constant repeat of your threading without anything out of order.

Have you made sure that you don’t have a threading error anywhere?

You may need to add weights to them to keep the ends taut for the neighboring threads

These were extra threads and did not disrupt the threading pattern. Also there were no threading errors so I just pulled them out and let them hang over the back beam. I am also using a floating salvage since this is a twill with a plain wave him. Thanks everyone for your input. BTW I love my new Louette spring too, but I don't want to speak too soon since I haven't tied up the lambs yet I'm just glad that jane has a good video out there to guide me through this. Any suggestions will be appreciated.😀
