I don't know how I missed it, but when I used the pick up stick on this towel, I managed to catch one thread wrongly. To be fair it isn't at all obvious on the right side. This warp has given me a lot of tension troubles. I think my warping technique will have to improve. I'm using crochet cotton with two ends in each slot and one in each hole. I warped front to back and when I wound on, there were tangles. Apart from that, even though I tied on at the front with the heddle raised, after a few inches of weaving the slot threads became loose compared with the hole threads. I cut this towel off and tied on again, and the same thing is happening with the second towel. Frankly, I'm puzzled. In an effort to keep the edges neat and reduce draw in, I tried a makeshift temple consisting of some kumihimo weights, nuts, and some hooks intended for hanging ribber weights when machine knitting.
I decided to just go for it and gently pulled out the offending warp thread and rewove it. It was only about 2 feet long and took 10 minutes. You'd never know.
