I have just got around to starting the lovely Sequins in Pockets scarves from Season 8 episode 5. I just finished threading and discovered that I am short 12 threads at the end. At first I thought I had counted the threads wrong when I warped but after counting them all I find I have 320 (104 Turmeric (although I am using Cayenne) on the right, 112 Fuschia in the middle, and 104 Turmeric on the left. Then I took a closer look at the draft and counted the number of threads in the draft. It seems to me that the section on the left end of the draft actually has 116 ends of Turmeric instead of 104. Am I correct or am I missing something? I looked in the Forum comments and do not see any comments about this so I can't figure out if no one has seen this or if I am doing something wrong. I have attached a photo of page 2 showing the warping order and threading draft and how I counted the threads.

Well I would have attached a photo of the draft sheet but I can't figure out how to do so.

Hi there!
The 12 cayenne on the left of the fuchsia on your notes should also be fuchsia for a total of 112 threads. The x5 equals to 100 + the 12 threads next to it. You should have 3 pockets on the left in your Cayenne section once it's threaded, 104 threads in total for that part. Hope this makes sense! I would keep threading and it will all work :)

Hi Ginette
Phew! After reading your reply I checked my threading and, low and behold, I discovered that I had threaded an extra 1234 cycle in the Fuschia (so threaded 1234 six times instead of 5 within the center blocks) by mistake. So after resleying that section I had the right number of cayenne for the remainder. Duh! I had checked the total number of threads but not the repeats I had threaded. Thank you for clarifying and helping me look at it with another set of eyes.

So glad you found it and resleyed, can't wait to see these scarves using Cayenne, do share photos when you've woven them. Happy weaving!
