Okay I am starting to get the picture, now I have a key to the code for the colours I can look again at the loom and add some more labels ready for the warmer weather.

The basics of the loom are not a problem for me and as I had the loom, it makes sense to start by using it.

If the cable is too thin, the current will heat the cable and eventually melt the sheath and likely the adjoining cables. Adding an additional wire in parallel same size or bigger will reduce the heating effect of the current flow.

I have noted the comments and will log them in my build book for use later.
