I have enough heddles on all the shafts except for shaft four. That one I am 12 threads short. Instead of rearranging and sliding and all that 'jazz', I will use 12 heddles from shaft 5 and tie them up 'as if' they were really on shaft four.

Slow Progress on Fustian Cloth
The nice thing about weaving for the fun of it, is ...............that you can be fast, or slow.
I seem to be taking working on weaving some 10 yards of fustian cloth - slow. I do have about half the warp through the reed.
