Winding On A New Warp-Part 1

In this video I show you how to use the warp guides to begin the process of winding your new string onto the loom. My Union Loom has a warp beam so I warp on the loom instead of using a warping board.
This is part one of the winding on process. I will be posting part two soon which will show you the actual winding on process.
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for such a hugely helpful series of warping videos. I had no idea what I was doing as I just got my loom from a family member. Your videos are super relaxing to watch too. :) cute dog!!

Very beautiful 💕💕

Good job👍

I with my loom that I just got had this feature. I have a counterbalance that was made in the 1970s

Thank

[@daphnegooding1235]

This has been truly helpful. Thanks. My antique Union 36 does not have a warp guide. Does anyone know where I might get a warp guide? Or make one that will work? Thanks again.

Did you find a warp guide cause my doesn’t have one?

[@sestep910]

Thanks for the easy to understand video! I just got a Union 36 loom from someone who had inherited it from her father and it sat unused for years. I don't even know where to begin. I have a lot of experience with different fiber arts, but not with weaving. The heddles are strung, but they look very messy - I guess from the loom being moved several times over the years. I need to figure out how to get it through a normal doorway. It's currently resting in the barn (no animals in there) because that's the only place with a door wide enough to get it through. It will eventually be in my studio - when I figure out how to get it there. Any tips?

Shari, if you download the owners manual it tells you what parts to remove to get it through a doorway.

Where do you source your cones?

[@karenpatterson1236]

Have you rewarpped your loom and tie on to the old warp so you don't have to rethread everything? Learning on my union 36.

[@cuttingtherugweavingstudio7085]

Hi Karen. No I have not tried that method. I have seen it done. I change warp colors and patterns each time so it is just better for me to restring. I also don’t like the idea of tying all of those little knots😩. Thanks for watching.

[@hanpurple9475]

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing!! I want to replicate it on to my Leclerc looms😊 Question, how long's the loom 45 inch or less?

[@bruce-margehouser2728]

What is the width of your thread guide? I recently bought an old Union Sectional beam, but that piece is missing.

I'm just getting into weaving rugs and really enjoy your videos. I have a Union loom that I bought last summer while on vacation. Your videos are the first that I've seen on KZbin that clearly detail the steps needed to warp a Union loom. I have a question, I see that you use the little metal warp guide that fits over the back beam instead of a tension box. I've read so much about the need for a tension box to keep all the warp threads the same tension but you seem to do fine and create beautiful rugs without one. Have you used a tension box or do you see any need to use one with your Union loom? Thanks and keep up the great videos! Jim

[@cuttingtherugweavingstudio7085]

I have never used a tension box on any of my looms and I have not had any problems. I know a lot of people say you really need one but I try to keep it simple whenever possible🤓. That being said you should be fine on your Union Loom without one. Just make sure you wind on evenly and that will prevent most of your problems.

[@MaineWolverine]

That's great news. I'm currently finishing up the making of 6 rag shuttles and hope to have this warped by the weekend. What is your usual rug width?

[@cuttingtherugweavingstudio7085]

Using 20 cones my rug width is approximately 27 inches. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

[@lorrainekeating2648]

How do you thread the warping guide when you are using different colors in a pattern? I have looked everywhere for that info. Thanks Lorraine
