Warping from the Front of the Loom, Part Three: Winding On the Warp

A well-wound warp has two requirements. First, all threads must stay equal in length throughout the layers wound onto the warp beam. Second, the warp must be wound on as least as tight as the tension you set each time you bring the warp forward to weave. We discuss warping materials, lacing on to the front stick, checking for threading errors, and weaving the heading.

The projects are plain-weave towels designed in tartan-like plaids.

Also included:

• Tying on a new warp
• Tying a weaver's knot
• Finding order in the cross
