I agree with others who have said this is the clearest explanation/demonstration of what is actually happening when weaving. Thank you so much. Weaving videos are such a help to me.
I am in the US and plan on purchasing the 32 inch Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom in a couple of weeks. I come from a quilting background so weaving is all new to me. I have been watching hundreds of videos for months on these looms and I have to say that I have learned more from your couple videos than any others that I have watched!!! Please, please, please continue adding videos!!!! :) Blessings, Kristie
Great video. I just spent 3 days trying to warp my LeClerc Rigid Heddle Loom. I warped it backward, took it apart twice, and spent 3 days trying to untangle the warp. The warp is now burning in my fireplace after realizing I was spending way too much time and going nowhere. I’m going to try again with a smaller warp until I know what I’m doing. Your video was the most helpful of all 100+ I have watched. Thank you!
I feel your pain! I just got a Knitter's loom and warped it yesterday. Folded the loom and tension went all to heck and gone, threads overlapped UGH! Today will try to untangle the mess (maybe the weaving goddess will take pity) if I can and try again. I totally agree that this is the best of all the many I have watched. Clear visibility of the over under (which frankly threw me till I had the 'lightbulb' moment of what was meant. And it was soooo nice to see the process solo without a helper. So annoying when the narrator says 'Now have someone help you wind on...' without giving any hint of how to do it by yourself. Thank you!!
You, sir, are an excellent teacher. I have spent hours trying to warp my Ashford rigid heddle loom to no avail. Your video is so much easier to understand than the one the company has posted. It is so much easier to understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you I understand it now It great to see it done in a slow enough pace and calm way to see & understand Because i found myself getting wound up when i could not get it keep making these videos
Thank you 🙏 so much. I had no clue I find it easier to learn by watching the demonstration. You are very good at making videos because you get to the point and explain the good the bad and everything else 😊
Thank you so much, I too just wrapped my yarn backwards, included my reed in the wrap 🫣🤦🏼♀️. What a mess! Your tutorial was very helpful, I am new at weaving and the warping has been a stumbling block for me. I am anxious to start anew with more confidence, thank you 🙏🏻 🎉
Thank you so much for this video. I have just received my loom from you and put it together. Tried to use the Ashford video but it was too noisy, fast , and confusing for a mere beginner. This was perfect. My loom is all warped up and ready to go!!
Thank you for the tutorial and it’s interesting but it seems with all those pieces of cardboard you are wasting a lot of warp. Why not just use a few strands of scrap yarn instead? Or did I miss something in the reason for that cardboard at the end?
You could use some scrap yarn, yes, but the cardboard does give you a firmer edge to beat against, and the thickness means your warps straighten out more quickly.

Best explanation I have seen. Thank you.
Thanks Theresa!

I'm glad it helped Suzanne and good on you for not giving up! Good luck with the next warp.

Wonderful video. I’m getting my first loom next week and after watching this, I think I can wrap it.
I appreciate this video. It answers a lot of questions. I am ready to warp my new loom for the first time. Now I am less apprehensive. Thanks.
Glad it helped Geralyn

Thank you! I'm doing my first warping this afternoon. Hopefully.
Thank you so much. This answered all my questions
Glad it helped Lisa
Fabulous video - thank you.
Really helpful and easy to follow, ta
Very good explanation
Where would the reed sit when your warping?
It should be on the loom in the neutral position so that the warp goes straight through and is not diverted up or down.
Well done. Thank you!
lucky you have long arms for the winding on!
I'm just so surprised there haven't been any real innovations when it comes to warping!!! c'mon humans!

I agree. I prefer to use scrap yarn to spread the warp.
Brilliant 👍
