How to Wind Multiple Threads on a Warping Mill
Переглядів 3,9 тис.4 роки тому
Suzie Liles explains how to speed up your warping by using multiple threads at a time on a warping mill.
Bookmarked your video in every browser I use! Great demonstration and explanation. One of those 'not that difficult" but I make it that difficult weaving tasks. Hoping my next project the ends will look nice and tidy vs. chaos.
Thank you for this series. I haven’t woven in several years and your instruction has helped get me going again. Your presentation is really clear and every part is helpful.
You're welcome! And thank you!
This method is so much easier than what I’ve been doing. Thank you so much for the videos!
Very helpful- just one question- how can you tug so hard if using finer yarn that isn’t as robust as cotton?
When you are using finer yarns, or yarns that are less sturdy, you can pull on larger numbers of threads (strength in umbers!). For some yarns, you will need to just not pull too hard. Sadly, only experience can tell you how hard is too hard! If you break any of the warp yarns, it was too hard - pull a bit less for the rest of the warp.
Where can you buy the end caps and bar after you have cut a longer reed? I made 2 out of 1 and need the ends.
That's a great question! We just save them off of old reeds that are too rusty to use. I'll look around and see what I can find
Suzie, this was so great, thank you!!
Thank you Suzie!
Thank you! ❤
These videos are so clear Thank you. I feel much more prepared now
Yay! Thank you, and Happy Weaving!
The cord would a!so work for a floating end
What is the sequence of threads pulled.
The draft is from Handwoven Magazine May/June 2011 (pg 62). The threading is the standard American Huck lace pattern (14141 23232)
Thank you for the series of video. I’ve managed to warp the loom following them. You are a great teacher.
Thank you! We love teaching new weavers!
I am reed technician in bangladesh
I missed in this video or part three that came before where you remove the blocks that you used to raise the shafts while you were threading heddles. When do you do that?
We remove the blocks after we sley the reed. It kind of depends on your loom. The blocks are there to raise the shafts in order to make threading and sleying more comfortable. It isn't 100% necessary for every type of loom out there. You just want to make sure to remove them before you tie on, or for SURE before you start weaving!
Love the info but video is so shakey i cant wstch it.
If we do a lot more videos, we could invest in a camera gimble, that could help.
The video is too shaky. Couldn't watch it.
Yeah, sorry ... we're weavers though, after all
Not the sort of reed I was expecting! 😂what are these reeds used for?
These are reeds for weaving. We use them to keep the warp yarns spread out at a specific density. It helps keep the fabric even or light.
@@EugeneTextileCenter thank you. :-)
Thank you for this video. What do you do when there is a knot in one of the warp threads?
You pause, and roll back to one end or the other where you can tie on a new thread to replace the knot. Some weavers prefer to leave it and repair the thread while weaving or after the cloth is woven (which is what you would do if you missed taking out a knot while warping).
Thank you very much!@@EugeneTextileCenter
Thank you for this video! I've always dressed my loom front to back but would like to try back to front. My biggest concern is having to lean over the breast beam to thread the heddles. I think this would really mess up my back as it seems to get easily bothered, especially by leaning over. Dressing front to back allows me to sit on a low bench between the shafts and the rear beam (I remove the warp beam) and get very close to the heddles. I'm curious what your thoughts on this are. Is there a more ergonomic way to dress back to front? Thank you so much!
You're absolutely right, it can be a bit awkward to thread the heddles from the front sometimes. The solution depends on the loom. Some looms let you remove the breast beam and sometimes the beater as well, which is great. On jack looms, we often use wood blocks to also raise the shafts higher during threading so that you can reach better. Let us know what kind of loom you have and we might have some more specific tips.
Good info about the selvage edges! Smaller group of threads at edge to keep it from rolling.
This series was SO helpful. I took lessons 35 years ago and remember the basics, but your instruction and helpful hints were invaluable! The loom is dressed and I'm ready to weave! Thank you!!!!
You are so welcome! Happy Weaving!!
Thank you. I have 2 used looms and your helpful hints will help me to make them better.
thank you for this tutorial! it was so helpful!
You are so welcome!
I really enjoyed your video. I think I might be able to dress my loom without my friend looking over my shoulder. Very helpful!
Hooray!
I have a Baby Wolf with the clips on the heddle bars in the middle. Do you have to count out the required heddles left and right of the center clips before threading? I learned on a Wolf Pub that doesn’t have this middle clip (like in the video).
Hi! I just unclip the heddle bars before I start threading, and then re-connect them once I've tied onto the front bar. That way I know that everything is nice and straight before I start weaving. The smaller looms don't usually have a clip, and some wide looms have more than one clip :-)

No tat all! I usually unclip all of the shafts that I am using before I start, get the loom all threaded, then re-clip the shafts once I'm tied on. That way I can make sure that they are nicely diving the warp and I didn't mis-calculate the number of heddles I needed (PLUS, I don't like counting all that much). This works for any loom that has clips on its heddle bar, as long as they won't fall out while you are threading when they are unclipped. If that's the case, I make a rough guess, then re-clip once I've tied on if needed.
Love that you are now doing these videos!
perfect!
Thank You!
Wow thank you for this, just literally put my Schacht wolf pup together today....came flat packed here in UK what a job 6 hours later. But going from a ordinary loom to floor really set the old brain a bit!!!??? Understanding bits and parts, your videos are fantastic and thank you so much. Also as I said seeing you using the same loom, I could see me and hubby had assembled it correctly.
Hurray! I'm glad you got it put together correctly. It's a bit of a job when you get it flat packed! Happy weaving!
Thank you. Short, sweet, good camera angle. Very helpful.
Thanks. That's great.
This was so helpful! Thank you! I haven’t made a trip up to the shop in awhile but I am due, I need to stock up on weaving supplies. We are very lucky to have sick an amazing shop with a ton of experience to help us out.
I had no idea you guys had a UA-cam! Thanks for all the information. I just picked up a 45” floor loom. It’s a big difference from a rigid heddle.
I'm going through the same thing ! It's so intimidating to move to a floor loom with little instruction 😅
@@patriciafaithpotter8331 you got this, follow Susie and use that pause button! It’s definitely a bit different and at moments a bit frustrating. Worth it though!
Thanks so much for this helpful series. I learned to weave at the Maude Kerns art center in Eugene when I was in high school. Ready to reconnect with the craft, though I’m pretty rusty after all those decades! Much appreciated!
We have an ancient Maude Kerns loom in the shop right now - it's so cool!
Thank you!!
Know what helps a lot? Remembering to start the first pick from your dominant hand. So says the rightie who always has to hemstitch left handed because I can’t remember to start on the right. LOL!
I usually end up pulling my last/first pick out if that happens -- it's just so much easier to start on the dominant side!
thank you~
Thanks so much!!!!! This is so very helpful!!!!!!
You are so welcome!
Nice mem
Thanks!
Fabulous! I had fallen down a rabbit hole and these 3 videos were exactly what I needed (and some shower curtain hooks).
Hooray! That's why we made them
I'm terrible with hemstitching. Thanks for the video. I'll be playing it over and over till I get it.
Such a great instructional video. Trying to figure out how I can secure my raddle to the top of my Ashford 24" table loom. I think this might solve some of the problems I'm having with sections twisting.
Try some big rubber bands. I attach the raddle to the front breast beam and pass the warp through the shafts. The texsolv heddles can usually condense really well to make room.
Great how-to. I have some reeds that are too long, not looking forward to shortening them! Also, it looks like the reed has a lot of rust on it. How do you deal with that?
For surface rust, we use a brass brush (like for cleaning a barbeque). For more serious rust, Naval Jelly is an option, but it will leave the surface pitted. I would also consider shortening the reed to get rid of the worst bits.
I have old reeds like this. How do I do this rust cleaning without damaging the tape?
I'm really enjoying your videos -- I keep learning. I'm bonding with my beautiful David 3 I purchased from you. What a beautiful loom. What a learning curve :-) Are you live streaming these videos? If so, do you have a set time and day that you do them?
Jill, I'm glad you're enjoying these! We filmed these videos way back in 2020 and are just going through and posting them now. Make sure you're on our email newsletter list to get notified if we do another streamed online class!
Thank you Suzie and Suzie's helpers.
Thank you so very much!! How many ends can I fit onto a warping mill? I've always done like 10" max on my warping board...same for the mill?
Catherine, yeah, you can use similar guidelines for the warping mill
Thank you for slaying as a left hander!
As a left handed, it would be wonderful to actually see you do this as a left hander. I spend so much mental energy having to “do this in reverse”! It is hard sometimes to visually turn skills around so I force myself to do it like a right handed person! Any tips for left handlers would be welcomed!!
Keep an eye out for a special left-handers only video sometime
Awesome video, thanks for sharing
Excellent video! I just found your channel. Will be looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks!
I'm so glad you found us! We have a lot more videos in store, more ideas than time to edit!
