In this short video, Annie will walk you through the steps that she uses when setting up an inkle loom and will share the methods that she has perfected over the years for warping quickly and with as little effort as possible.
Tips include some things that even experienced inkle weavers may not know like:
- How to use a quick-release knot to secure the beginning of your threads to the loom while warping
- How to change colors as needed with only one knot per color
- What is the proper length for heddles and how to test it
- What loom makers don't tell you about taking the shortest path and how to prevent the warp from slipping
Also, there is a valuable tip in here for the thing that inkle weavers seem to struggle with the most: getting nice edges! Once you know this, you can eliminate the lumps and bumps forever!
