Ouch that is a mess! They move at such high speed timing is everything. I wonder how they borked the warp. Usually those big beams are warped by machine or run off continuous spools. BTW thank you so much for thinking of me. I love your nature pics but the textile equipment makes my day! I've seen and read on the commercial looms but never got to see them in person. So I love when you share.Ice is setting in, this area got snow, further east lakes are more windblown clear, less snow.
@curious2garden , when looms go bad. Looks like the feeder roll got a bit tangled.
All those individual threads have to come off evenly on a 10ft long roll, get woven into specialty backing fabric.
