Weavers Craft Weaver's Craft Magazine - 5 Warping from the Front of the Loom, Part Three: Winding On the Warp (OCTNOV00)

Weaver’s Craft, a quarterly publication by former Handwoven editor Jean Scorgie, features well-designed projects with special emphasis on creative expression in color and design. The projects are for beginning and intermediate weavers on four- to eight-shaft table or floor looms, with most of the projects for four-shaft looms.

Each issue centers around a topic, explaining concepts, discussing options, and illustrating processes step by step. It’s like having a teacher at your elbow guiding you with the information you need to learn and grow.

No advertisements, no filler, just information you can use to make your weaving highly rewarding.  Each issue is like a chapter in a book.  Imagine the possibilities!

Issue 5  - Warping from the Front of the Loom, Part Three: Winding On the Warp

A well-wound warp has two requirements. First, all threads must stay equal in length throughout the layers wound onto the warp beam. Second, the warp must be wound on as least as tight as the tension you set each time you bring the warp forward to weave. We discuss warping materials, lacing on to the front stick, checking for threading errors, and weaving the heading.

The projects are plain-weave towels designed in tartan-like plaids.
