Thordyss, I've only done the Rams' Horn pattern once, so I'm far from an expert, but may have a couple of things for you to try...
- Sometimes there's nothing else you can do but reach into a middle section and manually run your finger down through the shed. It'll be clearly defined at the edge of the card-pack, and you just have to open it up a bit more. (unfortunately this does slow down weaving, but it keeps it precise) - When I turn my cards, I turn a bit past 90-degrees, and then come back to the 90-degree position. That extra little bit of turn-return sometimes opens the shed a bit. - I don't fully separate my packs, they overlap between a third to a half of a card. With the shed being open at the front edge of the cards, if the front edges of the various packs are closer, that can make the shed easier to find. - Fuzzy yarns tend to "catch" threads together, muddling the shed a bit. - Keep an eye on the pattern as you weave, it's often easy to notice that the shed was muddled, and you can unweave just a row or two to keep from mussing the pattern. Hope it helps, some. Good luck! di <*> On 2/28/08, Thordyss Lyngheid <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques > > Hi All, > > I started doing the Ram's Horn pattern but am having difficulty finding > the shed after turning the two sets of cards separately.
