Oh perfect! I have my rigid heddle loom clamped to a sturdy vintage typewriter table. The wheels can be raised or lowered so the table can be rolled around, or it can locked in place and it will not budge. I just finished direct warping, but before I removed the warp from the pegs, I thought it would be a good idea to come here to your channel and remind myself what I should next. Lo and behold - all I have to do is cinch the warp near the pegs, engage the wheels, and let the loom roll along while it rolls up the warp! Thank you once again, Kelly, for providing a simple elegant solution! ❤️
Your table sounds great ❤️
I am new to the rigid heddle loom and this video helped me tremendously!
Glad to hear it!
Great advice Kelly, I really like this idea cheers Tina
Thank you! Thank you! This is the best and easiest way to warp a RH. I’ve never had a better tensioned warp.
That's wonderful Dorothy! 😀
So happy I found this.
Thanks, I will try this. I was using another method that I also saw on UA-cam. DIY Ashford Tensioning Device for RHL by My own little house. It involves the use of 4 wooden rods the width of a broom handle. 2 above and 2 below the warp on the back of the heddle so the warp is zig zagged thus creating tension. It has worked very well and my warp is neat. It is simple yet not as simple as your demo. Lucky for me that my husband was able to make the side pieces. The best part is not having to bother anyone to help me with the warp.
I will absolutely try this. This will work perfectly in my weaving area.
Great!
Brilliant solution! Thank you
You're welcome!
Invaluable information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! 😀
This is the only way I’ve warped my loom! Clamped to the table and loom advanced across the tile floor!
Awesome 😀
This was a game changer for me. Much appreciated! Thanks!
Glad to hear it! 😀
This is indeed a different way. It just proves there can be many paths towards the destination. My present circumstances will not allow me to be this creative, but this video is fun
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Oh my gosh! Wonderful idea- this is one I will for sure use! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
What a great Idea - I think it will really help my tension. Thank you
You're welcome Jane, I hope it does help you 😊
Brilliant!
Thank you! This video was super helpful and answered a question I had.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you!
Very helpful. Love it. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic! I am so trying this method.
Awesome! 😀
That’s a great way to warp on. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
I have always warped this way,nice that you have done a video. I pop an elastic band around back beam and reed, both ends, it holds nice and steady, remove bands when winding on.
Great that it works for you too 😊
So long as you tie your mergering tread knots at the pegs there should be no problems. Great time saver. Thank You 😂
This is brilliant! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I never have a problem with this method, even with cotton or a wide warp (or both)!
Thank you! Going to try this morning. 😊
Wonderful, I'd love to hear how it goes 😊
Well done! Again!!!
Thanks Kathy 🥰
This is pure genius! You are so in-sink with weaving ideas; they just flow from one brilliant idea to the next. Thank you!
Thank you Loretta ❤️
I do that too!
Years ago I had those back issues. Strengthening and using my abdominals has solved the problem.
Great that exercises worked for you. My back problem is from a horse riding accident nearly 30 years ago. It's at a manageable stage, as long as I'm careful. I've been through years of treatments and exercises for it, some things help, some don't.
great method :-) If you have the pegs attached on the other side of the table, you won't have to worry about them popping off the table .
I also use blue painter tape to my loom stand feet to the tile floor while warping so there is no slippage.
I'm just seeing this video. Thank you. I am in a wheelchair, incomplete quadriplegic, and I warp in this way from my chair.
Wonderful! 👏👏👏
This was wonderful!
Thank you!
I have a 32" Kromski on a stand which doesn't move easily so I dug out four Magic Mover furniture sliders and placed them under the feet. Now it easily glides across the floor. Can't wait to try. (I'll remove the sliders and continue to place weights across the legs of the stand so it doesn't move while actually weaving, though!) Thanks for the video!
Great solution Sherri!
I came across this video by accident, and I’m so glad I did! This method worked perfectly for me. I have a hospital rolling table that is adjustable in height with locking wheels. Worked like a charm. I left my loom on the table so I can stand or sit to weave. I’m new to weaving and it took me about 40 minutes to warp my 16 inch rigid heddle loom start to finish. Thank you! By the way, can you warp this way on a 4 or 8 shaft loom?
The rolling, adjustable table is a great idea! Generally speaking, for a 4 or 8 shaft loom you would make your warp separately on a warping board, then take it to the loom. I know that some people do direct warp their table or floor looms, so it is possible, I just have never tried it myself.
I am an ambulatory powerchair user, I have struggled to warp over several days before, this is a great idea, I can now work with my powerchair to roll back and forwards while warping. Thankyou
Fabulous, so happy to hear that! 👏👏👏
Very clever!
😀
That's a brilliant idea. I've got a wood floor, but I'm totally going to try that for my next project. (I've got felt on my stand feet, so it's not going to scratch anything. ;)
Great, I hope it works well for you 😊
Great… Now I need a loom stand! Ha ha… Great tip :-) thanks so much!
To be honest, I wouldn't want to be without my stand, it was well worth the initial investment.
Thanks!
I do a version of this, but I really like the idea of bring the loom to the pegs. I suspect this method keeps the warp taut, with no lazy parts in it. I will definitely try this method. Thanks
Great, I hope it works well for you 😊
Thank you John! 😀
This method absolutely rocks!! I do my warping by myself and it has been very discouraging. I can't seem to get an even tension. This is the best! Thank you
Wonderful, I'm glad it's helpful to you Linda! 😀
Thank you, so helpful. Winding on is my hardest challenge!
It's a pleasure to watch these - gets my brain out of filmmaking for a while. :)
Glad to hear it, thanks Kevin ❤️
I Have had the pegs PING off and create the yarn spaghetti! So if I use one now, I always but it on the back side of the table so I'm pulling the peg toward me as I advance the warp. I think it would work for most tables and lengths of warp.
So great! I have been using this method for two years and my wife thought I was nuts to move the loom along the floor. However, it worksyour great on our hardwood floor. I even put a line on blue tape on the floor as a starting point. I enjoy all your videos and love to weave because of you. Thanks very much. Patrick (age 75).
Great to hear that Pat, thank you 😊
A really great tip Kelly. I was going through the slot two times when I had to double my warp. What a timesaver this will be! Thanks so much.
You're welcome!
I’ve done this but I put the pegs on the opposite side of the table so the tension on the pegs is just a bit higher. Had to make sure I kept the loom evenly spaced with the table so one side wasn’t looser tension than the other.
Holy moley, this is brilliant! And so much easier than trying to keep tension on warp with your hands. ❤️
😀
Awesome
This is an excellent method, love it. Just completed warping using this method and it eliminated a lot of headaches. Really appreciate this especially when warping alone. Thank you!
Wonderful, thanks Lucy!
I like to worp my RH loom this way. But in stead of using the pegs on a table I worp toward the rattle of my floorloom. And to protect your wooden floor, put some felt under the feet of the stand.
Thanks Ellen 😊
Thank you so much Kelly. Tried this tonight and it is fantastic. Had a bit of problem at the end but learned from it! Great method for a person living alone!
Great to hear that! 😀
This is pure genius.
You have no idea how much I needed this solution. I'm new to weaving and I find warping frustrating. Thank you so much for being a great teacher.
P.S I really enjoyed the colour class you offered recently. Much appreciated.
That is awesome, I hope it's a good solution for you! I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop too 😉
you had me at wheelchair
it was very helpfull and gives a nice way of keeping tension
the possibility of being wheelchair bound is high because of my disease, so thank you for giving me a way out to still keep on crafting even if things becomena little more difficult
Absolutely, glad to help, there is always a way! ❤
Thank you Kelly for another great idea, I will try this. I use the same Ashford loom you are using and it looks like this will be a big help! I always love your tutorials and your method of teaching, very clear and easy to understand.
Thanks very much Suzie!
You have saved my sanity. 😂
This is brilliant, yet so simple a solution. Thank you Kelly, I can't wait to give it a try.
Thank you!
Hi Kelly I just warped an 8/2 cotton warp using this method. It was so much easier than doubling into slots or I also would wind off one cone to make two cones. I also watched your tip video where you rolled on moving the loom and stand. I use my dinning table to warp. So I used furniture movers (felt rounds) under my loom to protect my table, and as I rolled on the loom moved slowly down the table , It worked like a charm. Really great tips!! The best thing I ever did was enroll in your classes. You are truly an exceptional teacher. I say that from my heart!!! Thank you Kelly.
Thank you Lisa!
What a great way to warp your loom. Thanks Kelly!
You're welcome! 😊
This is genius❣ I just took 2 classes and worried how I was going to do it alone. This is simple, effective and as a complete beginner feel confident I can do it❣ I am your #1 fan now🥰🥰🥰
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Thank you for posting this video. As a "lone weaver" getting a loom warped with the correct tension is somewhat cumbersome. The method of pushing the loom itself towards the pegs is brilliant and very helpful to me. Great!
Wonderful to hear that, thanks Marcel!
What a brilliant idea! So cool for those times when you are home alone and don’t have your helper on hand. Will definitely give this method a go. Thank you Kelly!
Great, hope it works for you Diana! 😀
I love this, thank you! I'm JUST beginning to learn weaving (taking a 4 week class at a local yarn shop), and am so excited to learn ALL THE THINGS.
I've been using this method ever since I saw you do it in a very early vid on hybrid warping. I love it. Makes great evenly tensioned warps. And yes it's like having an extra pair of hands
😊❤️
Definitely a neater warp! Thank you for sharing this, I’m excited to try it!
You are so welcome!
I’m so glad to see you do this. I use a variation. I have a board withe about 20 evenly spaced pegs that I clamp to a long table. Then, instead of moving the loom, I move that board closer and closer to the loom. I just clamp and unclamp the board. I think your method keeps a more even tension so I’m going to try it. Thanks again for your explanation, and your consideration of people who use a wheelchair.
Your method sounds great too. I'll be interested to know, if you try this method, which you find you prefer.
I have one of those too, and it’s great. I clamp the board to one end of my dining table and my loom to the other end. When it’s time to wind on, I clamp down the warp thread ends onto the board with its top piece, and then unclamp the board from the table.
I keep the loom clamped to the other end of the table as I wind on. The board has enough weight to keep tension on the warp threads as it scootches towards the loom - bringing the tablecloth with it (so my table doesn’t get scratched!).
My dining table is 6’ long, so if I want a longer warp, I put the loom on a sturdy plastic folding table that I have. That gives me another 16” by itself, and I can always put space between it and the big table to get a longer warp - in which case, during the first part of the winding on, the loom moves as in the video, and then when the small table with the loom bumps up against the big table, the warping board starts to move.
I take it slowly, checking the warp, smoothing it and making sure the tension is even, after every few turns of the back beam.
This is how I manage to weave in a small NYC apartment, without the luxury of a dedicated studio. It saved my sanity during the lockdowns of 2020.
We do find ways to do all this, whatever our circumstances, don’t we?! After this video, I modified my approach by scooting the table with my thighs, and weighting that warp stick to pull it to me. Well, actually, I put pieces of heavy border tile in front of it to slow it down. All together, I believe I achieved a much better warp. Thanks again Kelly.
What a wonderful idea! I will certainly use this technique next time I warp the loom. Thank you for all your generous sharing.
You're welcome!
Thank you Kelly. I saw this on one of your videos and tried it while warping my herringbone scarf. It was brilliant and made the whole process so much easier. Your tutorials are so clear and easy to understand and you are a brilliant teacher. They make weaving so much more enjoyable, particularly this one as warping on my own is always a challenge!
Great to hear that it's making a difference for you! ❤️
I have been using this method for awhile and I love it! Never have a problem, even with a wide warp.
Great! ❤
This is how I do it too
Awesome! 😊
What a clear explanation thank you so much. I don't weave a lot and always forget how to start the warp 🙂. I will save your instructions now and always go back to them!
Wonderful!
That was very clever; your warp looked so good.
Thank you!
I did the same for my last project! Makes it so easy to warp the loom. Thanks for sharing.
🥰
Thank you, Kelly. Love the presentation and will definitely try that method
Thanks Gloria 😊
Thanks for another great video. I worked out the first half of your method for the same reasons that you did, Kelly. The second is just great, so straight forward but not obvious at all. Thank you again for sharing.
You're welcome!
I have been using this method since I started weaving because I didn't have a dining room table so I would clamp my peg to my desk in my craft/reading/playroom. Thank you for showing other people/weavers how to improvise when they don't have a suitable worktable. Love your videos 😊💖
Thank you Pat ☺️
Fascinating variation! Thanks for showing this.
My pleasure! ❤️
So easy when you see it done. Thank you. Where are you in the country please, or where are your workshops held?
Thanks Ann. I don't hold any in person workshops at this point, just online classes.
It's always great to have different warping ideas filed away for later, you never know when you may need to change the way you do things. Thanks for another informative and well explained video Kelly.
Thanks Gai 🥰
only a comment about a wheel chair, since I used one, wheel chairs only go forward and backward, they do turn but they don't go side ways like an office chair.
Very true. But it would still work for a wheelchair user with a bit more moving around? 🤔
This is such a good idea! I live by myself so always needed to wait for help but no more! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
This is so great!! I am going to try this! This is brilliant!! Thank you, Kelly!
Wonderful, thank you!
Thank you for the video. Great lesson. What loom are you using? I love the rests on the sides.
It's a 24" Ashford rigid heddle loom on a stand. I have the old style of stand, which sadly is no longer available.
Genius
☺️
Once I know how long I want my warp I put a whooping board next to my loom and work that way
Yes, that's another way to do it, I have a member's only class on using that method 😊
Since I always warp by myself, I’m loving this method and will use it on my next project! Thanks!
Wonderful, I hope it's a success for you!
Hi Kelly, thank you for your video. I discovered this method of warping because my home is so small and I don't have a table for the pegs I use a chair back. It was great until I needed to do a wide was for double weaving then the loom fell over because of the tension. Now I'm trying indirect warping using the back of the loom. (24" Ashford) it's a bit awkward but it solved the space problem and the falling loom, lol. Your videos are great, and I have bought a pattern from your Etsy shop too. Thank you, good luck with the school visit. Let's get them young ones interested.
Thanks Suzanne 😊
Большое спасибо. Пробовала такой метод и думаю нужно вернутся к нему . Вы очень доброжелательный человек, Kelly! ❤️
большое тебе спасибо!
This is fantastic! I will try this the next time I warp. Thanks for sharing this!
You're welcome!
This is exactly the way I warp. I am not able to walk much so I use my office chair. My floor is tile so I place some weights on the loom to hold it in place. I put peg on kitchen counter.
Great!
Great method! Could a person put skidded pads under the stand legs when ready to warp on?
Yes, for sure 😊
I use my wheelchair for warping, it’s actually easier than a rolling chair and faster and I love the idea of keeping the warp on the pegs and pushing the loom. Thanks for showing us!
Thanks for sharing, it's great to know it works well for wheelchairs too ❤️
This is wonderful!! Thank you for sharing such a great tip!
You're welcome! 😊
I love this idea and cannot wait to try it! Thank you, Kelly, for giving me another option for warping. This is the most time consuming and difficult aspect of my weaving journey. I feel that this will help me tremendously. Great idea, as usual! Thank you!!!
You're welcome Nancy, I hope it makes the warping process easier for you 😊
Brilliant! So nice for when you don’t have an extra pair of hands around to help you with winding on. Thank you!
Thanks Cindy 😀
I'm a new Weaver, so I have a question😁. This would have to assume that you're keeping a very even tension as you wind it , wouldn't it? Otherwise, it would have loose warp threads here and there.
Yes, you always want your tension as consistent as possible, this method works well for that 😊
This is brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing. I particularly like the moving the loom towards the pegs once you have finished putting the warp on. I am ordering a second peg ASAP as I can see how a second peg can really help in the warping process@
Yes, extra pegs are well worth having, some weavers use a block of wood with pegs set into it, I think one of those would be great to have too.
I'll surely want to try this...as a "lone" warper, it may be a wonderful way to go.
Hope it works well for you 😉
The timing of this video couldn’t be more opportune! I’m planning a baby blanket on my 25” Flip and am working alone.
Wonderful! 😀
That is actually brilliant! Would never have thought of it but it makes perfect sense to do it this way...
I always say that in weaving, there are many ways to get the same result, it's just finding which way works best for you 😉
