Thank you. I was just gifted a tabletop warping mill. I want to warp my next project, a grey/black log cabin pattern. I am winding the two colors together but I can figure out how to make the cross. Any clues or hints would be greatly appreciated.
That's a great question! The EASY answer is to just wind the two colors together and figure out which one goes where when you thread them. I wind up to 4 threads at a time without any trouble with them tangling while weaving.
Thank you for this demo. Where can I get the spool holder with the yellow and green spools (about 16:45 sec in)? And can they hold the Mayfield Carpet warp spools? I made something that works from a cardboard box and half inch wooden dowels, but want something a bit sturdier that rolls nicely.
Lynelle, That is a Westlake Lazy Kate which, sadly, you can only find used these days. You can substitute any other vertical lazy kate. I like to use the Kromski version for warping because it is a bit more sturdy: www.eugenetextilecenter.com/spinning-lazy-kates But any lazy kate where the rods are horizontal will do the trick & they should all fit the 8/2 or 8/4 cotton spools.
I'm really glad you mentioned what you'd do in the case of back to front warping, because that's how I want to do it.
Thank you so much for this video. I am just now learning to use my warping board and this was VERY helpful!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing
This is So helpful! Thank you!
Very cool with the pink - I would mess it up for sure.. I mess up my cross normally.

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
I’m using a warping mill. Seems like you don’t worry about keeping threads in order.. does it make a difference?
Suzie doesn't seem to have any trouble with her warps, the threads work themselves out in the end while winding on.
Very good
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.
Nice mem
Thanks!
