Yes, I think I really do need to look into continuous warping before attempting any further experiments -- although it may have been using the fine thread that made it so extremely slow last time.
(I like the dubiousness of the net gain comment! Fortunately/unfortunately I am not afflicted with offspring to assist or otherwise...)
I don't have any plastic bag clips, but I did manage the same effect with ordinary wooden spring-clip clothes pegs fastened across the threads above and below the cards; I'm not sure how well that would have scaled up when using more than four of the thicker warp threads, though.
I think the only crochet thread I've got is all white. I do have fine wool, but it's currently sort of tied up in another (stalled) project ;-D
