TENSION DRAMA

Can you see the tension ?
Recently I discovered tension is a major issue when using these looms, because there is two different beams with two different qualities of yarns-thread on them they have different tensions. I came across this issue when i was trying out all the different weave structures (to see what they looked and reacted with different thicknesses of yarn) because they started to get a wave in them, it got to a point where the idea of  cutting it off and tying the warp back on (thank god) i managed to fiddle around with it and get the tension right!!
This image above was taken when the tension was off and the sample began to develop a wave !
