Great video, have watched multiple times❤ when you change color how are you looping the thread to maintain tension when you were using the large warping board at the end of the video? Looks like you’re wrapping it around something on the outside.? Thanks so much :)

C clamps may be easier?

My dad used them to make gill nets when I was a kid. They were at least 100 ft long.

Thank you so much for going over thread fibers and weights. You'd be surprised at how hard this information is to find for a beginner.

Just came across your video and found a bunch of nice tips. I love the use of wood clamps, paper clips, the kite stick, coffee stirring sticks and rubber bands. I am a big fan of all of those tricks too. And I love that you are making your own equipment. I do the same. Well done.

I just finished reading the Handwoven Tape book, and I needed to actually see the actions she described. This is an excellent video!

Thank you so much! My husband just brought home the reproduction tape loom he's been working on for a month and I needed to know how to do the warping -- I've never understood the cross thing from written descriptions.

you can also turn your clamp upside down. makes great warping peg

Just love the kite stick! So much easier than chaining the warp! Thanks!

Nice video. Clear instructions. I am not familiar with "kite sticks" other than those flimsy balsa sticks on tissue kites. Is there a weaver's definition?
@marariley67994 жыл бұрын
Catherine Latane - yes, it’s a stick that you use to wind your warp around. The weaver I learned this trick from uses canvas stretchers from th art supply store. The one I used here was cut out of pine from the home improvement store and sanded smooth. I’ve also used spare stick shuttles for this purpose.
