Warping with Frequent Color Changes

I’ve seen a lot of questions lately on how to handle frequent color changes when winding a warp. In this video I demonstrate a technique I use ~ dropping the unused color & then picking it back up. I hope you find this video helpful. Please Like, Subscribe & Share! Thanks for watching.

Very helpful. Eliminates knotting the ends together.

Good, clear, easily understandable video, perfect for beginner weavers, and also for others who have been cutting off and retying the warp threads.

I'm glad you found it helpful. I know a lot of weavers have trouble with this. Thanks for watching!

Nice tips. Every time I watch you wind a warp though, it makes my shoulders hurt. Have you ever tried turning your warp board 90 degrees and moving your arm in an up and down motion? It’s much more natural, less tiring, and far less stress on your shoulders. It took me only a couple of times to get comfortable with it, but it really made a huge difference while I was using a board. Now I use a warping mill. Anyway, it was something I learned from Tom Knisely, and I never went back to horizontal paths.

Thank you for the tip!!! I'm going to try this. Warping the way I do doesn't seem to hurt my shoulders but it is good to learn new ways of doing things. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Grace. These instructions will come in handy when I advance to a multiple color warp.

Excellent! I will try this. Question: what do you do when you have an odd number? Let's say you have 1 color, then need to change back - i.e., starting at the top?

[@tangledwebsweaving]

Good question! It depends how many threads of the new color. If there are an odd number of threads of the new color, or a large section (over 15 threads?) I usually cut the ending color and tie on the new color at that point because the new color will end at the opposite end from where it started. If even number, I'll park the old color, tie a slip knot on the peg and continue. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!
