3 Cheers for the Guide String

Here is our battle cry for the day! Say it with me, “3 Cheers for the Guide String”! This unassuming yarn can dramatically change the course of a weaving project. Yep, it has that much power. Just sitting there on the warping board.

Are you curious as to why the guide string is so important? Take a look at episode 53 of A Handwoven Experience to dive deeper. After watching it, you’ll be yelling, “3 Cheers for the Guide String”, too!

Show Notes –

Warping board – Back in October, I dedicated an entire episode to the warping board – the elegant pegged frame that helps us begin each weaving project. If you missed it, take a peek right here. 

Using a warping board – Nicole over at Warped Fibers wrote a lovely blog about working on a warping board! I love reading posts from other weavers. You never know when another person’s perspective will offer a better way to do something. I hope you’ll enjoy Nicole’s post as much as I did! (Just click here.)

Now, you!

What do you use for a guide string? An off-color yarn? A whole train of yarn bits knotted together? Maybe a yarn you haven’t found a project for yet? What’s your go-to?
