10 Steps to Warp: Warp Chain

Warp Board

Warp Board


Using a different colored yarn than your warp, tie a loop around the Cross. Then secure
the rest of the warp with additional ties in 1 or 2 yard intervals.

To remove the warp from the warping board, a warp chain is made. Starting at the bottom
of the board, put your hand through the loop that is formed. Bring your hand through and
take hold of the warp, drawing it through the loop. Then put your hand through the new loop that is formed and pull the warp through again,
forming a new loop. Repeat until you reach the end of the warp.

If you want to start weaving right away, you can place the warp chains onto lease
sticks and take it to your loom. If you aren’t ready to weave yet, the warp chains can be safely stored until you wish
to use them. If I am storing them for some time, I attach a note to the chains. I record
details of the project I have planned.
