Water Jug Warping

Photos: (c) SandraC

• Divide warp into no larger than 6" sections.

• Fill enough jugs with water, so all are equal weight, to go across whole warp. It is important that all are the same weight.

• Straighten and smooth each section of warp so all threads are as close to equally tensioned.

• Make a slipknot in each section.

• On each water jug, make a loop and use a knot to hook it onto the handle.

• Hook the loop on the water jug around the slipknot in the warp (trust me it will hold, I didn't think so either until I saw it).

• Do this for all sections of warp.

• Then start winding warp onto beam, until jugs reach the breast beam.

• Then untie, and do it all over again
