That...is an excellent question! I've never tried and I haven't used my horizontal mill in yonks. Maybe a basket hanging from the ribs outside the area the warp is accumulating on?

The hardware store :) They go by different names; "bar clamp" is one of them.

With a blob of that removable poster stickum goo.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "really fine threads". The smallest I use on a regular basis is 16/2 cotton (6720 YPP) and I use this same method. I'd probably do the same for even finer as well, but can't say from frequent personal experience how well it'd work.

@@janetwdawson thank you for your quick reply. For some reason when I warp any thread finer than a 5/2 (to me 10/2 and smaller is a fine thread. 😂) using a single thread rather than held in pairs I get a tangled mess when I go to wind onto the back beam. I warp B2F. The threads seem to slide more smoothly in pairs. I was wondering if you had used your technique winding 2 at a time while changing colors on your mill. It could be my problem is my technique. I have messed up several warps when winding them using a single strand and now I avoid it as much as I can out of FEAR. Love your videos and I could use all the pointers I can get. I own your Craftsy class and have participated in several of your stash buster weave alongs. Thanks again, Pam

@@clearlysewcrazy2727 Yikes, I don't know how I didn't see this before! I usually wind in pairs, too - or threes, actually, if it's feasible. I do the same thing, but when I get to the ends I cut the whole bunch and tie on the new thread(s) for the next pass - even if one or more of the threads are actually continuing. I still cut them and tie them along with the rest 'cause that's SO much easier than trying to leave one or two attached while changing the others.
