Hi! I am about to start the Cotton Bouclé Tea Towel and I am very excited! I am a beginner.
For the tie-up, I see that treadle 1 has shafts 1 & 3, and treadle 2 has shafts 2 & 4. Can I tie these up on treadles that are more centered, treadle 4 &5 instead? (I have an 8-shaft). Otherwise, I'd don't think i'll be centered when using treadles 1 & 2.
Thank you for your time.

Hello Lisa!

You can tie up whichever treadles feel right to you. I often do exactly what you're asking about, and put my tied up treadles in the centre, where the footing feels more natural. Or, if you have larger feet (I do), you can tie up treadles 4 and 7, leaving 5 and 6 down.

The tie-up box of a draft won't show empty treadles, so distribute the actual treadles as you see fit, for your comfort and ease of weaving.

Have fun with those bouclé tea towels!

Thank you so much for your response!!! Spacing them out to treadles 4 and 7 sounds perfect! Wonderful.
