When weaving you are left a short length of the warp which goes through the heddles and is tied on to the back rail, about 20cm long. I have been reluctant to throw these warp ends away and whilst on holiday in the UK recently I saw an interesting use for them at the Farfield Mill in Sedbergh, Cumbria.
On my grand-daughter's 10th birthday the other day I got her to draw a variety of sheep faces and legs and have since glued them to pom-poms made from my warp ends. The following photo shows the first eleven sheep made by me and my grand-daughter. It was a lovely time to spend with my grand-daughter and I love the sheep. Will I be able to sale them or give them away? We will see.
