10 Steps to Warping – Step 1 – Front to Back Warping Method
There are lots of different ways to warp a loom. If you use another method, that’s great! The objective is to find a method that is most comfortable and easy to use for you. I will describe a method that I use when warping from Front-to-Back.
Step 1 – Choose Your Project and Yarns
First, you will need to determine how wide and long you want your project to be and what type of yarn you will be using. For beginners, it is advisable to choose a pre-determined pattern so that some of the calculations will be done for you already. Links to some patterns and projects are listed on our site.
There are also many handweaving books and magazines on the market. I include selected weaving book selections below. Check with your local library, take a class through a local weaving guild.
or the many hand picked books we suggest via Amazon. And of course, if you have questions, stop by our All Fiber Arts Facebook Page where we will all be happy to help you get started.
