The paper I used to use to help warp my loom was getting pretty beat up, and this piece of burlap had been sitting in my laundry room for, approximately 5 years, so I cut a few inches off the side and machine sewed the edge to limit fraying. I'm not sure it's going to be the *best* possible replacement but it was sitting right there.

I'm counting this as #MarchMending adjacent, since the ultimate goal is to make my loom work better for me. Next up is lunch then to the shop to see if I can up my warping game a bit too.

When I was looking to see if there was a common peg width people recommended, one of the sites was like "get your husband to make..." so of course then I *had* to make this thing myself. This was all wood we had in the shop and I had to search around to find a scrap piece the right length. I hadn't used the chop saw in a dog's age but "move slow and make things" is perfectly fine for reacquainting myself with what's in the shop.

Haven't put much effort into finishing beyond basic sanding because I want to make sure this actually works for direct warping the rigid heddle loom next, but I didn't have enough time before kiddo was due home from school to do an actual test. Maybe later this weekend!
