Wonderfully clear, no fuss, no drama, and getting right down to business with no time wasted. Excellent video, well done!

Thank you Kate. You explain everything so well without unnecessary fuss or a running commentary on how marvellous life is :-) Your instructions are clear and so calm and you give just enough background to explain why something is necessary. The best videos on warping that I've found.

I just bought an Ashford 32" table loom and was considering a direct warp, which I usually do with my rigid heddle because I am all thumbs when it comes to warping. This demonstration -- all three parts -- looked like a lot of extra work. But the more I watched it, the more it became clear to me that these extra "safety first" steps are very useful and will alleviate some of the problems I have warping ANY loom. Glad I saved these to favorites so that I can refer back to them. Thanks.

I really love this video. Your voice calms me when I'm feeling so intimidated about tying a warp to a raddle. Thank you for making this clear, informative video!!

I wanted to return to this two weeks later. I finished the sampler I wrote about in my last comment, and it looks nice (except I should have used yarn in more contrasting colors). Then I did another sampler using patterns in *A Weaver's Book of 8-Shaft Patterns." Now I am finally using $12.50/skein yarn, and I just wanted to say the process gets easier and easier. Putting the yarn on the raddle took about an hour the second time I tried; now, the fifth time, it took less than a minute. I never did do the tea towel: what I want right now are scarves to give as gifts, yeah.

Such a super helpful video. Thank you. Four of my cross threads got messed up, but everything is wound on, and I think I can correct as all else are properly placed. Fingers crossed.

Thank you for this! I just successfully warped my loom for the first time....could not have done it without you

[christinedennis]

Brilliant - thank you so much. I am now looking forward to dressing my loom with these straight forward instructions!😀

@Meriamen Hi, Yes warping your Inkle loom is schedule for about 3 weeks time, if you can wait. Thanks.

[jamtea]

I really appreciate the ashford instructional videos. I enjoyed your use of 'safety first' because it's a good reminder.

[AshfordNz]

Dear ReunionNZ, I am not sure what you have done wrong but I am guessing if you are using wool it has a lot more stretch in it and you must be very careful to keep your warp at the same consistent tension when winding. We also have flip book tutorials on our website: Home page - tutorials - weaving flip books - Learn to Weave on the table loom (sorry I can't put a link in this comments field)
I hope this is helpful. Kind regards, Kate

very simple techtique and beautifully stepwise explained well. A BIG HELP THANK YOU

[fsparkman]

This is such a good description of warping on your own. I shall be giving your methods Particularly the helping hands a try later today when I finish winding my warp. :-)

How many metres can the table loom weave? Doesn’t seem to have much space at the cloth beam and warp beam.

[kathryngoulet]

Watching this made it so much easier working with a table loom as I have had a floor loom for 10 years. I sold it and I am going to buy a Ashford Table loom 8shaft 32" . Was wondering how many yards can you wind on a table loom

[oliviahamilton]

My cat jumped onto the table just as you said "As long as there are no cats around..."

She always knows, haha.

Hello Kate
I enjoyed watching your video on warping. Could you please help, the riddle pin you used
(the long stick with spacing pins ) how long is the stick and what is the space in between each metal pin. It make life a little easier when warping.
I am learning on an old Weavmaster 4 shaft loom.

Thanks
Elaine

I'm assuming it's not possible to direct warp? Wonderful video, thank you!

[reneechenard]

Merci Kate pour ce vidéo. Est-ce que vous pourriez faire un vidéo avec un plus gros travail. Je n'arrive pas à réussir lorsque je fais un gros travail.
