- In this tutorial, I explain in details how I direct warp my Ashford rigid heddle loom. I wanted to share all my weaving knowledge and this is why I tried to include as many tips and insight as possible. For example, I explain my advices to achieve better tension throughout a project. I also present to you my set up for direct warping horizontally. Finally, I show you how to wind the warp onto the back beam if you are alone.

OOO! I LOVE the idea of taping the paper to the cardboard separator!
Thank you!! 🥰
This was the absolute BEST warping on a rigid heddle loom video! I don't feel overwhelmed looking at my loom anymore. Thank you!!!
You are welcome 😁 I'm really happy to know that I could help you!
Fantastic video on direct warping - it was a great reminder to direct warping - great English as well:)
Thank you so much for your nice words 🥰
I am a long time weaver, but have always had someone to help with the winding on of the warp, now I am on my own, this Video has been such a help, thankyou !!
I'm so glad I could help! Best of luck with warping on your own ☺️
I love your video, I warp like you do but I really appreciated your taping the kraft paper to a cardboard stick, that makes so much sense and will make adding the paper so much easier. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad I could help 🥰
I’m a total beginner and your instruction is clear and easy to follow …thanks
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you so very much, I still need to take my loom out of the box, and you are making me feel a bit more confident.👍
I'm glad I could help 😊 have fun with your new loom 😄
This was an AWESOME video! Thank You so much! I had been looking for a video to show how to do the warp horizontally bc I really don’t like the warping peg either. Please keep the awesome videos coming! Thanks again 😁 btw, I love that scarf pattern ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰
Thank you so very much! After watching your video I was finally able to warp my loom with a tension I can work with. I also love the idea of using a horizontal warping pin. I think you are Brilliant!! Thank You!!!
Wow thank you so much for your comment 🥰 I'm so happy to know that I could help! I wish you lots of fun weaving 😁
Thank you for this video. It is going to help me soooooooo much! Super helpful!! Xx
You're so welcome! I'm so glad I could help 😄
thank you...reminded me how much I enjoy weaving on my rigid heddle loom.
You are welcome 😊
Using the step stool and drapery rod is genius! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I just wanted to say thank you for being so detailed in this video. You (ave been very helpful 🥰
Thank you for saying this! I'm really glad it was helpful 😊
This helped me so much thank you!
I'm so glad! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this video! I already had my first two weaving attempts on my Ashford Knitters Loom but with your video I feel a lot more confident when starting the next project. For almost everything I was struggling with I found the answer here. Brilliant - especially the direct warping ladder method 😊 👍🏼
Wow thank you! I'm so glad I could help you 😃
This is so awesome! I love doing things different because somethings don’t fit my needs. I appreciate you video and thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! 🥰
This video was incredibly clear and so helpful thank you for doing such a good job explaining
Thank you so much for you nice words! 😊
I have such problems with my tension and your video showed me some great tips (starting with horizontal warping) to smooth out my issues. Thanks very much.
I'm glad my video could help! 😊
Thank you. I learned alot as I am somewhat new to weaving! Thank you again!
You are welcome! I'm very happy I could help ☺️
thankyou ! you make it all look so simple - I `m converting from my HUGE dobby loom to a rigid heddle loom to siplify my weaving process.
Oh wow ! Dobby looms are so impressive 😄 this will surely be a big transition to a rigid heddle loom! I'm glad that my video could be helpful 😊
Great, efficient, creative ideas which I will use when I do my first project! I don’t even have a loom yet, but am planning on buying one in the near future. Thank you.
Thank you! You will be fully prepared when you'll have your loom 😄
This was very helpful. Thanks so much!
You are welcome 😊
Thank you! I got my loom today and I was wondering how I would warp on my own. I also love the use of the stepladder as it might be my answer to a space problem I was having.
You are welcome 😊 I wish you lots of fun with your new loom 😁
So helpful!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks 🥰
So many great tips! Merci!
De rien 🥰 I'm glad my tips could be helpful!
Glad i found you . Fun demo
I'm glad you found me too 😊
Thank you for this video, you are awesome
Thank you! 🥰
Thank you this has definitely helped as a newby
You are welcome 😊 I'm glad I could help!
Thabk again for a great video. Always good to see how a fellow weaver warps her loom! I was only thinking about the peg problem yesterday when I warped up with 8/2 cotton for some teatowels... I lashed the warp onto the front beam to get even tension but the outside threads were so much longer than the middle! Maybe I need the stepladder!
Thanks again 😊 if you try the step ladder, please let me know how it goes! 😄
Good explanation thank you
You are welcome! 😄
Excellent! And "tres cute!" 😊
Merci! 😊
Good stuff!
Thanks 😊
I did your method on my last dishcloth project. So much easier than the vertical peg that comes with the Ashford loom.
Great! I'm glad it worked well for you too 😁
Thank you for this video. I’m going to try your horizontal pole method. I think this will resolve many of my tension issues
You're welcome! I hope this helps! Still, I feel the need to add that this method will not solve all tension issues. It would be important to make sure to warp evenly the warp on the back beam after 😊
@@Curly_n_Yarny yes. I’m still learning. Only been weaving about 6 months. I’ve found that weaving is the easy part. It’s the warping that’s the trick. Your method will solve some of my warping problems, I know
I'm glad I can help 😍
I love the pipe (?) in the stepladder idea.
Hahah thanks! It's actually a curtain rod 😅
I don't think I'm ready to warp a 15 dent reed but I really like the concept for warping. Great video.
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you so much
You are welcome 😊
Great Video! I was struggling to think of somewhere in my home to set up my loom and something to attach the peg to that would have enough space to warp a long project. But watching your video....I have that same exact stepladder! And a long hallway, and a stand for my loom! Just need to think of a way to maybe weight down the loom stand. But I will make it work!!!
That's awesome! I wish you good luck with your warping 😊
I use a bag of cat litter. The fine bentonite type. Even if you don't have cats, it can come in handy for messes...
There’s these double end spring clamps great for holding warp rod
Thank you so much for this video. What a great way to ensure all the warp threads are the same length and avoid waste. The idea of using the cardboard strips attached to the paper is a genius idea- definitely going to try this next time! The tip on checking the tension on both the upper and lower heddle positions was another brilliant tip. I noticed that you didn’t knot the warp onto the front apron rod after you were happy with the tension…….does it never slip? Thank you. Your videos are so clear with lots of information for a new weaver. 😄
You are welcome 😍 I hope all those tips will help you! To answer you, no the knots I made on the front apron have never slip in my experience! At first, I used to tie them once and then tie them with bunny ears. But once I forgot and I realised it didn't change anything. So now I never do it 😅
Fantastic warping ideas! Ty for another GREAT video❣ I haven't used my loom in ages so I'm learning again through you. Very inspiring too.
Your warp and weft yarns are they 8/2?
Thanks to you! 😄 For this project, the warp is actually 4 threads of thin acrylic yarn twisted together to make one thicker thread. But, I do wove other projects with 8/2 for both warp and weft 🧵
Great video, thank you!
Thanks to you 😄
I just got my first rigid heddle loom. I’m enjoying your video and the different approach to warping. I am researching to educate myself before my first attempt at a project. When you’re drawing the thread over the apron bar it looks like you’re alternating over and under every other time. Is that correct or am I just confused? 😊
I've been struggling to find something besides that stupid peg. Thank u for the wonderful idea.
Hahaha! 😂 I'm glad I could help
At 22:23 in the video does it matter that you’re pulling the threads to the side while winding them on rather than holding them straight out in front? I notice the threads farthest from you are longer because of this and wondered if that could possibly affect the tension.
I have a question in regards to the length of your fabric. You said you want to have 2.5 m. Is that already calculating in extra for the beginning and end waste/fringe on the project? How much do you calculate for that?
Good question! For this project, I wanted to weave for about 2m and I consider that I will have about 50cm of waste yarn. I normally need about 25cm at the beginning to attach the warp to the front apron. Then, I usally have around 25cm at the end of the warp that cannot be woven. I hope this help 😊
Thank you for this great video. What causes the shed to be a "messy"? It great in the up position and a mess and doesn't have a space in the down position. Any tips would be grateful.
There are a few things that could cause that! There is one tip that I could give you and that works in most cases. The tip is to use a pick-up stick or anything similar to that. Then you would need to put your heddle in the down position. Slide the pick-up stick in the shed behind the heddle. Then slide the stick to the back beam. This should help with your tension in the down shed.
I show this technique in this video: ua-cam.com/video/lkRBBCAh51c/v-deo.html
@@Curly_n_Yarny Thank you for the response. A fellow weaver took a look and my yarn was too thick for the size heddle I was using. Something so simple that I totally overlooked. So grateful for the weaving community.
So if you are doubling it, when warping you would pull a loop through both the slot and the hole on the heddle? I've seen several people mention it but I couldn't find any videos on how to "double" it exactly.
Yes, that is exactly right! I explain it in more details in my Spring Scarf video. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/RVAxGKJ4PoA/v-deo.html
Easy, cheap, warping peg recipe: 1 flower pot big enough to hold 4lbs plaster of Paris, making sure any hole is plugged since plaster of Paris is added to water, not the other way around. 1 T -made from PVC, end caps and joints to assemble... Place T in prepared wet plaster of paris and let set a full 24 hrs before use! Enjoy!!!
That's very interesting 😊 thank you for sharing!
Hi! When you're weaving in scrap yarn, did you beat every row after the first two, or did you continue with only beating after two rows?
Hi! Good question 😊 I continue with only beating after 2 rows of scrap yarn. I do this until all the warp threads are evenly separated.
@@Curly_n_Yarny cool, thank you! 😁
Sorry c-clamps stick out at each end, they’re adjustable and can also spin into direction you want to hold whatever down
That's cool! I'll have to look into it 😊 thank you for sharing!
What size loom is this?
It's a 32" (80cm) Ashford loom 😊
@@Curly_n_Yarny I just ordered the 24” ashford and will eventually go with a 32” table loom. We can never have enough toys...or ahem tools haha
I totally agree hahah! I just got a used dorothy table loom with the pedals add-on 😄 So exciting!
does your brother like mass effect
He does actually 😊
It would be nice if you could demonstrate the technique of warping onto the loom with tension so that one can get even tension without issues. I find that by myself it is more difficult than if I had someone holding the yarn. I am new to weaving so I am just getting the technique down. I find that you talk alot with demonstration, maybe if you could cut down on the talking and show us how you do it it would be helpful Thank you
Thank you for your feedback! I'll take that into consideration for a next video.
I think it would be helpful if you were just grateful and didn't criticize her delivery, which personally I find really sweet.
@@Curly_n_Yarny Please don't, you are lovely as you are.
I just wish I could slow your speech down a bit.
There is! In the video setting, there is an option to change the speed of the video 😊 I hope this helps
