It will collect/reroll the paper as you progress without it hitting the floor.

Love the purple...Congratulations on the HW entry!! Love the purple and the black with that silk warp.<br /><br />Two possible solutions for your warp packing paper:<br />1. Use only one yard sections of paper as you roll on. The advantage of this is that it's easier to roll on straight. And you can pick up the one yard pieces before Maddie gets to them as the weaving progresses. Or if she gets to one, it is only 1 yd. of paper, not your whole roll.<br /><br />2. You can hang a cardboard tube (think of the tubes that gift wrap comes on) from the back of the loom by threading a string thru the tube and tying the ends of the string to the back beam (not the warp beam, the beam that the yarn goes over on the way to the warp beam)....make it long enough that the cardboard tube hangs below the warp beam. Clip the end of the paper to the tube at each end, using alligator or paper clips, then roll the paper onto the roll as the warp advances. That way, the paper doesn't make it to the floor. <br /><br />I've done both of those things before I switched to sticks.<br /><br />Good luck!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-54369313758566433252015-03-28T08:13:30.087-07:002015-03-28T08:13:30.087-07:00Congrats on being a finalist in the Handwoven cont...Congrats on being a finalist in the Handwoven contest. It's fun entering things like that.....although most of the time I never get around to it......like in this case. <br /><br />Variegated yarns are a challenge but I end up loving the way they turn out - scarves are lovely - will be interested to see your finished knitting. <br /><br />Cindie https://www.blogger.com/profile/00417973211775970549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-52844135470981575662015-03-28T07:57:20.598-07:002015-03-28T07:57:20.598-07:00That's awesome!
