Warping in Less Than 3 Minutes 

fionadouglas1 so simple without chattering

Welcome to the warped side of yarn!

Hello I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness prosperity, love ❤and peace all over the world🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Engineer Graham Bolt from Nashville Tennessee, where are you from?💙

You are exactly who I had in mind when I made this video. Glad it was helpful.

+Grace Brunelle (Gracespins) that is a great question and one that trips up more weavers than almost anything else in the warping process. All that matters is that you go around the rod. What happens naturally is the action alternates-one time you will go under and the next time you will go over, but it doesn't matter if you keep track. Just make sure you go around the rod-and not the back beam-and all will be well. Thanks for stopping by!

I often teach different techniques using what I call my minimum viable scarf using a 50 inch long warp about 5 or 6 inches wide or sometimes I’ll create a “runnette” a small runner on an even shorter warp-about 45 inches by 5 inches. They are more useful sizes than one might think.

Tension isn’t important when wrapping around the peg. You aren’t tensioning the warp at that stage. The tensioning happens when you are packing the beam and tying on.

Thanks! That makes my life a whole lot easier!

Il n'y a pas d'instruction vocale. La sourdine est toujours une option.

Beka has a good video on their channel you may want to check out. They are using the indirect/warping board method, but the attachment process is the same with the direct/peg method. You would hook the loops over the teeth, pack the beam, then move one thread from a slot to a hole and tie on. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_KqJl3A0GG0.html

Cass - I hope you've figured out how to warp your Beka. If you have any questions about this simple little loom, you may ask me. I've woven on mine since 1991. One of the most important things to do is when you tie onto the front beam, make sure the heddle is in the "UP" position, not in the warping blocks. If you don't your down position will have serious tension issues. To do this, tie a bundle onto the front on each side while the heddle is in the warping blocks. Then move the heddle onto the top of the heddle rest. Finish tying on the rest of the warp. Then go back and re-tie the first two you did.

@@sandymorrison1400 Wow, this is useful information! Does this apply to all looms or just the Beka please? TVM!

It is a threading or heddle hook and most weaving retailers sell them. The particular one I was using here comes with the Cricket loom. woolery.com/schacht-heddle-hook.html

I did. First you thread the slots, then you wind one, then you move one slotted end to a hole, and you are warped!

It depends on a lot of factors, such as how many warp ends you have and the length of your warp. This particular warp would take a little less than 200 yds.

+tm13tube It takes me about 20 minutes to warp an 8-inch worsted-weight scarf. For most beginners it takes about twice that long. You get faster the more you do it. I made this video very much tongue and cheek as a demonstration of the process. In my book "Weaving Made Easy" and DVD "Slots and Holes" I step out the process in much greater detail. Thanks for stopping by!

Je suis désolé, mais je ne parle pas français. Utilisation de google tranlater pour vous laisser cette note.

+Vicky Conery The goal is to make sure that your yarns are wound on evenly, not necessarily under tension. You can always tension the later. One of the biggest mistake warpers make is messing with their warp while they are winding on. This is true for rigid heddle, floor or table loom weavers. In doing so you inadvertently pull on individual threads changing the collective tension of the warp. I made this mistake for years and have the lopsided warps to prove it!

+Liz Gipson thank you been trying to warp my loom for a couple months now but will not give up

+Vicky Conery Keep at it! It all seems so confusing in the beginning, but soon you will have those yarns doing your bidding.

@@LizGipson Just found this video. I WISH someone had told me this when I first started years ago (and gave up). I just started again with a rigid heddle and this clarifies soooo much!

@@youstolemysoul weave on!

+Paula Sorvillo Looks like a Schacht Cricket to me but I could be wrong.

+zbaerenlovesme You are right zbaerenlovesme. The loom is a Cricket from Schacht Spindle Company. schachtspindle.com/item/cricket-loom/

Ha! I never said how long the warp was ;) My fastest time is under 8 minutes with a warp of this length.

I hear you. This was meant to be a bit of fun, more of a demonstration than a tutorial. My educational videos don’t have a soundtrack running throughout.

Yarnworker I thought the music was fun! Didn’t distract at all!! This short video was a great refresher, thank you.😊

Considering it was a completely visual tutorial with no spoken words, if people don't like the music they can always turn off their volume. I found that the music helped me focus on the video.

I loved it

this music absolutely slaps

Yeah, music can be annoying. Thank goodness the mute button was invented if the score just isn’t your jam.

I hit the 'mute' button - didn't even hear the music...

@@nuvoclassic Me, too! I don't mind talking, but I don't like listening to music when I'm trying to learn something. I sure like the captioning. :-)

I thought the music was great fun, as it reminded me of early home movies. But as others have said, one can always hit the MUTE if the music is distracting.

I took liberties ;) What I do love about the rigid-heddle loom is that I can warp that exact same warp in less than 20 minutes.

This video is meant to be a demonstration not a step-by-step teaching tool. The goal was to show folks the steps quickly for those who are curious about how the process works. You are right there are so many many indebth learning tools out there and I hope folks will seek them out once they see how approachable the processes. I meant the title to be more tongue and cheek, not literal.

Shoo troll! Shoo!

Not useless even for a complete beginner; as someone said above it gives an excellent overview and also acts aas a quick reminder for someone who has only done the process a couple of times. What I find unnecessary is where a video shows a simple process (such as hooking the yarn through the heddle) in real time for all the threads. Once it has explained what to do and how, instruct the viewer to pause (so they can do it for themselves on their loom) or fast forward to xxx for the next step either if they are just watching or so they can see how to do the next step. This three minute video shows all the steps perfectly clearly and could be used by a beginner if they watch it through a couple of times to get the whole picture then work with it, pausing it at appropriate times.

If you want more of an explanation, then find a video on the subject that's more than 3 minutes long. You're not going to get in-depth details in 3 minutes.
