I was briefly shown how to use a warping board with my samplett loom but couldn't remember the details when I tried to do it. . Luckily I discovered your videos which are so helpful and easy to understand. I had been using a peg to warp my samplett loom and always seem to have trouble with the tension as well as having a lot of waste especially when doing a long warp. Using a warping frame is much easier. You are a great teacher and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
The warping board was a mystical creature that I could not wrap my head around. Thank you for demystifying it! While my husband will help me, I prefer to do it myself and this allows me to do it! Thank you for your easy to understand video!
I am new to weaving and created a nightmare after taking my warp off the board to put on my Ashford Rigid Heddle. Direct warping using the warping board looks soooooo much easier and less change for 'murphy' to show up. Thanks for the video, awesome demo's in these 3 parts! 😄
Absolutely awesome, iv had a warping board for several years and it's never been used after watching your podcast I got it down and tried and I have to admit it was like cutting through butter. Great teacher
Hi Amy . Just wanted to say your 3 videos on the warp board are the clearest and most direct of explanation I've seen yet. I built my own rigid loom just before Christmas and have made a few tea towels. Warped at 110" down the hall. I've wanted to make a warp board but the other videos were a bit complicated. Thanks for your clarity. Thanks so much for your time and effort.
I love the idea of using regular copy paper rather than long sheets of butcher paper or something. This is a great trio of videos that will help me a lot when I finally get to weaving on my jack table loom.
I just put my warping board together and after watching your videos, I am confident that I can use this method. Your videos are wonderful and I can't wait to watch more and learn from you.
Thank you, Amy the best thing I have found I have just bought two knitters looms and this will make my life so much easier.....Crafter's like yourself are so generous with their time & expertise...again thank you
I needed just one more video of you tying this on to the front apron and then just the very beginning of the Weaving, spacing the warp out! Lol. But thank you for these videos!! MUCH appreciated!
Amy thank you so much for your time in doing these 3 videos. I’ve learned a lot. My favorite part is that I won’t have to ask my Husband to help me. He has his own things he likes to do and now I won’t have to disturb him.
Thank you for this series! I couldn’t quite wrap my brain around all the mechanics of process from written descriptions only. I knew it was the method I wanted to use, now I understand how to do it.
fantastic videos. thank you so much for explaining in layman’s terms how to do this hybrid warping. i am going to order a warping board. I cannot wait to do hybrid warping.
Thank you. I think the hybrid way will work for me. My first and only RH is a 30" Schacht Flip and it kills my back. It is pretty deep front to back and I can't reach everywhere. Now I just need to figure out the clamping situation because my table is oval, although taking the leaves out gives a nice straight edge to clamps to in the middle (if that makes sense.).
OMG! YOU ARE AWESOME! I am a very new weaver and don't even have a warping board and this video series was still more helpful than the ones from the official channel. The tips on solo winding on which, again , is way better than the official channel, and tying the warp in bundles as you go are going to help me so much because I have two cats and a partner who would rather be shot than hold a warp for me.
Amy D. you have a new fan. I've warped directly and I've used a warping board but never dreamed of a hybrid method. I think it's revolutionary! Plus, my husband will be glad I've learned to warp without his help. Awesome video, very clear instruction.
Thanks so much for the clear explanation. My warp length has till now been limited by the space in my small room. I’m off to give this a try. Thanks again! A new suscriber
Hi Amy, I found you via The Rigid Heddle Loom FB group. One of the participants mentioned you and said how great your videos are. Can’t agree more. I have now subscribed to your channel. Lili, Kasa Bianca
I was directed to these three videos a few months ago and decided it was way too much trouble to warp like this. No offence, but I could do better with just stretching out the warp with a few weights I mean, gravity! How could it be simpler and not work!?!? Well, I’m back and I was wondering if there was a chance I could have a little more gravy on my humble pie please? A few weaving projects later, and a succession of warping tragedies, I see the light. Amy, I’m sorry for doubting you. 😔. I promise I’ll pay more attention the next time. 😂😂👍👍
I am your new subscriber and a new weaver, dyer, spinner, machine and hand knitter. Your videos are so helpful and clear. I was putting off warping, but now so much more confident. Thank you!
Thank you for another video, I too had my heddle drop on the floor just as I had finished threading it all, now I tie my heddle on to the sides to keep it safe. 😊
Amy! Such a helpful 3 videos and great instructions! Most impressive and I am happy to subscribe to your channel. This is so valuable for me, as I live alone and need to warp without needing to call on someone to accomplish this part of weaving. Thank you so much for your excellent instruction and encouragement for weavers! Happy weaving! :)
New sub here. Thank you so much for this series of videos! ❤️ I’m coming back to weaving after several years and definitely need a review. Using the warping board is genius! My back gets super sore after leaning over to warp, even thought I prop things up to a higher level. This is a great solution for seniors like me with lower back issues . I just ordered a towel kit from Cotton Clouds and can’t wait to get started.
Thank you so much for this! I need to warp 5 yards and my house doesn’t have that much room in it! I was figuring on getting really cold trying to do it outside.
@@AmyDMcKnight I put some shelf liner between the clamps and the wood on my warping board - and my nice maple DR table. :-) I have the same ones that you do.
Amy, thanks so much for this series. I definitely now confident I'll be able to use the warping board that I just bought. I've been using pegs, which work fine, but I think I'll have more control with the warping board. My only issue is I don't have a table to put the warping board on and my 24" Ashford RHL is on a stand so I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do this. One question, how do you tie the knotted bundles to the front warping beam? I've seen several ways to do this but not sure, especially if they need to be tightened. How do you tighten them? And I'm with everyone else who's so grateful for your generous time and knowledge and sharing with us.
This was so helpful! Thank you. I only have a single heddle block on my knitters loom, do you put the heddle in neutral while warping and tying on? I read some people put it in the down position but my heddle won't stay in down unless it is all warped.
This is a good series of videos and I learned a lot. You mentioned in the first video of the series that you would put links to the roping board you have. Would it be possible to add that information? Thank you!!!!!
Hi! Just watched your videos yesterday and am halfway through putting a long, wide warp on my loom, but the warping pegs are full! What do you think of tying and chaining the first half of the warp, thus freeing up the warping pegs? Will it make a difference in the eventual tension when winding on? Thanks, really enjoyed your videos and presentation!
First, thanks Amy. When you are winding on, it looks like the centre of you warp is quite a bit looser than the edges (because of the sharp angle on the sides v centre), did you not find that that causes issues when weaving? If so, how did you resolve that?
loved the videos, I'm a little confused by the end step - if you split the pairs and thread them through the two different slots like you did in the earlier video, how do you know you have the right one through the right slot at the other end up here?

I’m new to weaving, and warping is my nemesis (with a small kitchen and living alone). Your hybrid warping seems a Godsend. Thank you! Wish me luck!
You're welcome!
@@AmyDMcKnight DUDE, YOU MADE ME UNDERSTAND MY LOOM. THANK YOU!
I just put my warping board together and after watching your videos, I am confident that I can use this method. Your videos are wonderful and I can't wait to watch more and learn from you.
I'm a new weaver who lives alone. Thank you so much for this video series!

Thank you Amy your demonstration was the first clear and simple way to use a warping board- bravo
Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you for this, as it seems the easiest way one person warp. So now I am off to stalk you channel :) for some more tips and tricks.
Thank you so much for your video’s. They are a game changer, very clear and you are a fun person to learn from. Greetings from the Netherlands

Whole process very nice...Threading back and forth makes too much sense 👍🏻
I’ll be trying this method. Thanks!🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! You helped me so much! I now feel that because of your video's I can do this. You are an awesome teacher!
Brilliant! Thanks so much. This was all so confusing until I watched these 3 videos.

LOL :-) Sometimes you have to have your own experience to make you see the light ;-) Glad it is helpful!
I absolutely loved your tutorial 🎉great job helping me understand it all.
Thanks Amy - I was ready to try the warping board but kept putting it off for some reason - tonight is the night :)

Thank you for a very good set of 3 videos. I’ve learnt a lot!
This video is a god-send. Thank you, Amy
Thanks for this! I feel this method will work in a small space, in a small travel trailer.
Thank you for another video, I too had my heddle drop on the floor just as I had finished threading it all, now I tie my heddle on to the sides to keep it safe. 😊
Glad it helped!
Best series on warping I’ve seen! Thank you! So practical and easy to understand.
Thanks, Amy! This video series is so clear and helpful.
So happy to hear that!
Thank you 😊,awesome tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful. Thanks much!
You're welcome!
This has been the most helpful video series on using the warping board that I have seen. Thank you. I'll be looking for your other videos.
So glad to hear that ❣️ thank you for letting me know!
Thank you, these 3 videos were a great help. I was so looking forward to seeing your method of tying the warp on the front apron.
I'll do another one day! I think it either got to late or something went wrong with the last video. But it is on my list to do!
terrific series. you really are the rigid heddle queen!!
Thanks a million for this series, Amy - wish I had found you months ago and saved myself some seriously challenging warping moments!
Great video Amy!
I found this to be very helpful Thank you for sharing
Again, thank you thank you thank you! This was such a gift.
for people like me with back issues this is the most amazing thing - thank you SO MUCH!
Brilliant! Thank you so much, I’m trying this once I finish my current weave!

great videos. Thank you
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Just finished your 3 part series on Hybrid Warping, and I have picked up lots of little tricks to help me.
This helped me SO much. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Thank you!
If you are left handed you could just advance the warp by turning the back beam on the left side.
very true ;-)
Great video! Thank you for the great instructions!
If you are getting negative comments, please ignore them! EVERYONE gets them and only idiots write them!
Please keep up the good work!
WOW!! Great Vidio. Really helpful. Wonderful idea to use warping board along with the loom to warp.
This was so helpful. Thanks!
Nice series on using the warping board. Thanks!

This is a great video. However, what do you do when you are warping with a few different color yarns
Game change!
wonderfull, thankyou¬

I have three new videos that show and over the shoulder view of me warping a variety of looms, that could be helpful ;-)
Wish you would have done a different angle
What size is this loom?
Thank you
Oops I meant warping board. LOL
Love watching you. I’m new to weaving and feel confident I can be successful!
