Yes!

Yes! I really do have the shawl warp on the loom now. The heddles are threaded, and last night, I got all 8 yards or so of warp wound on the back beam. I ran out of corrogated paper to use on the back beam, so I used wide, red Christmas wrapping paper straight from the roll. It should be fine, I think, as long as it doesn't get wet while it's wound up with all that cream-colored yarn. (Now, how could it get wet?) Tonight, I tied the other end of the warp on to the front apron bar! It should be about 30 inches wide. There will be a photo tomorrow.
