Hello all! I'm a fairly beginner backstrap weaver trying to make some viking style leg wraps for a fantasy costume. I did a few small projects to get used to the technique, and have now dove n head first with a 12ft warp.

Warping and other setup went smoothly, but in trying to sit down to weave without the full warp spread in front of me I have run into problems. I tried to roll up the warp, with paper between layers as I've seen in images previously, but haven't figured out how to secure the bundle so it holds even tension without unrolling as I weave. Any and all advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone knows of any local stores with Brazilian staples? Specifically looking for some Guarana Antarctica (classic Brazilian soda). Would also love some tapioca flour for Pão de Queijo. Disclaimer that I haven't done much in person searching yet, just online (which has not been successful). Thought it would make more sense to ask for recommendations first. Any help is appreciated!
