Prepping Warp on Warp board
ฝัง

- Weavers will often need to measure their warp yarns before putting them on (or dressing) their loom. This can be done on a very basic tool called a warping board. In this video, I show you how I measure and calculate the number of warp yarns I am preparing for a project. I have lots of tips and options so that you can decide what works best for you.
Please feel free to leave questions and comments below. I read and respond to them all.

This is really clear, thank you
This is the best explanation of how to use a warping board. Everyone else seems to think that it's easy - but it is not. I found out the hard way how important the warp is. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your generous compliment! I'm so glad my video helped you😊
Excellent video! I was having trouble finding someone to show this thought process behind the resulting activity! Thank you so much for these clear and helpful instructions. I really like the idea of marking the board frame with different colored arrows. I'm guessing this is where the expression "reached the end of my rope" probably comes from! ha ha ha.
🤣🤣 Agreed. I'm glad you found it helpful! Sometimes I'm afraid of over-explaining; but I feel if you understand the "why," it's easier to grasp the "how".
I LOVE your clear instructions. I really hope you continue to make more instructions for weaving. I just acquired a used 1955 Leclerc floor loom and now that I've cleaned it up I want to weave. I've helped someone once but having your video is really helping me.
I'm so glad you find them helpful! I'm always available for questions😁
OMG BLESS U!!! THIS IS THE ONLY VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS WHY AND NOT JUST HOW
🤣 Thank you for your awesome comment. You made my night!
Ten thumps up! You are an excellent teacher, the video can't be more simple, and easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped.
I just watched your first video, on warping - and now this one. You are a fantastic teacher! I wish you had even more weaving videos, or a class. Many thanks, again!
You are so kind! I am glad my videos helped you. Although I don't have any others out yet, feel free to contact me with questions.
I re-watch this video every time I do a new warp. So helpful! I, too, have reached the end of my rope 😂
I think this is THE best indirect warping tutorial I have seen - hands down!! Thank you for the great detailed instructions. I am terrified of warping boards but think this will get me on my way. Thank you again!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful😊
This was fantastic! My husband is finishing making my warping board today. I can’t wait to start using it later! Thank you for your teaching
That is so exciting!! Quick tip: if he's doing removable pegs, make sure they fit tight. I must have had a slight movement when using my router to make the holes and some don't hold the pegs tight enough. So frustrating to have one fall out in the middle of measuring🙄. Now I would use my drill press. Best wishes!
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 we appreciate the tip! They will be glued…he used a drill press.
Very very nicely explained…thank you
Thanks for your video, love it, it help me a lot.
well done!!! waiting for more videos!! thank you!!!!!!
This is an excellent, detailed, but very clear instructional video. If you don't teach professionally, you should! Kudos and thank you!
That is the absolute sweetest complement! Thank you so much 💓
Excellent explanation! I was so intimidated by my warp board and what to do. Your instructions are so clear I'm now ready to tackle this. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you are ready to tackle the board. Feel free to reach out if you have questions.
Brilliant video Sandra!!
Thank you😊
I really enjoyed this video, it's very clear and concise
Thank you😊
Excelent demo
Good. I did my first set correctly. I have 13 bumps of 10 each for 260 warp ends. 3 Yards plus extra for waste. :) I enjoyed how you presented the technique. Clear and concise.
Congratulations🥳 sounds like a good size project. How exciting! Thank you for your kind words.
Nice 👍
Great video...
Thank you!
Thank you for a really good video. I am a visual learner so being able to clearly see each movement of your hands was extremely helpful. I am a newbie to weaving and I have 3 rigid heddle looms. A table or floor loom is not in my near future. I had to give up knitting and crocheting due to progressive arthritis of my hands and wrists. I am subscribing and look forward to future videos that can be used for both RHLs and larger looms.
I am so glad that you found this helpful. Arthritis is the worst! So far I only have it in my pinky fingers, but it has a big impact on other art techniques like painting. Hopefully you will be able to weave forever🙏
I do have lots of videos planned that will cross over into rigid heddle. If there's anything specific you'd like to see, please let me know. I have a RH loom also. All my best. 😊
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 Thank you. I’m not the most proficient at social media and forgot to include my name in my last message. I am Susan King. I live in Florida. Using your video I am preparing a warp for a multi color striped scarf. One of the yarns is a lace weight and I will be using 3 strands together for this color. I am doing one warp braid for each repeat so 8 braids total. Thank you again and I will look for more videos from you.
@@knitlegal Nice to meet you Susan. I do hope you'll post pictures so I can see. If you use Instagram, I'm @sandraclarkfineart. Good luck with your project!
Could you please make a warping board tutorial for simple plain weave patterns requiring two warp colours?
For simple repeating stripes with two colours, do you cut the end at the starting peg, or leave it dangling and until it’s required again?
And how do you warp for two tone patterns where you need alternating coloured ends in a pair (eg one black end, one white end)? Someone told me to wind the two colours together, but then how are the ends put in the correct order on the cross? Please help!
I impulse purchased a Dryad 4 shaft table loom today, and found myself watching both your tutorials! I’ll be finding some wood and making a warping board as soon as possible 😊
Thanks for the brilliant tutorials, I really enjoy the calm and patient manner in which you explain things
PS the loom isn’t my first impulse purchase, I already have two spinning wheels and a drum carder 😂 ban me from Facebook marketplace(!)
I'm so excited for you! Have a wonderful time. If you have any questions, just ask.
@@sandraclarkfineart6903 thankyou very much, that’s very kind of you! I’m sure I’ll run into questions along the way as I’ve only really woven on basic handheld frame looms 😊
@@LGdop any time😊
THANK YOU for explaining how many rotations counts as a warp thread. This confuses me so much!
I'm so glad I could help clear that up. Happy weaving!!
Does your weaving pattern tell you how many strings you need, like how wide you need to make it?
You will determine the number of threads you need by the width of the finished piece, the size of the yarn, and the pattern you are weaving. I don't have this video done yet, but I can give you the highlights.
1. Take your warp yarn and wrap it around a ruler for one inch. Count the number of wraps.
2. If you are doing a plain weave you will use half that number. If you are doing a twill use 2/3 the number of wraps as the number of warps per inch.
3. Multiply that number by the total width of the project. You will lose about 10% of that width after you take it off the loom and wash, so you might want to add a bit more width.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have questions.
