So it has been a while since I wrapped anything and am getting back into it.
I have a casting blank that I am wrapping for my daughter.
I am doing a cross wrap with an underwrap.
I marked it out more than once lol.
I have an axis on the top and an axis on the bottom.
It did take a bit to remember which direction to go, best way to hold the thread, whether I was wrapping up or down etc.
What I didnt realize was that using these markings I actually have two up and two down to complete "1" symmetrical wrap.
What this means is that it was easy to lose my place when I was using similar colors.
Anybody have some tips on keeping track of this that might make it easier?

I have empty thread spools that I lay on the track of my power wrapper if I need 6 threads I put 6 spools on the track when I get a thread done I slide 1 over .help me keep track

Thanks.. I think my brain was a bit foggy causing me to lose track.
First I have done in a while but didnt come out too bad.
Pic does not do the colors justice.
