Description

Interested in sectional warping? Felicia Lo explains what it is, why you might want to use it, and how do do it! In traditional warping techniques, a warp is measured using a warping board or warping mill and then wound onto the back beam of the loom all at once. With sectional warping, small sections of the warp are beamed one at a time until the entire width of the warp is complete. This comes with a few benefits: Smaller sections for wide warps, more consistent warp tension, short sessions for time-strapped weavers, and less work for long warps. Step-by-step photos will have you warping in no time!
