Quick Review: Indirect Warping
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
A quick overview of the indirect warping process for the rigid-heddle weaver. I designed it as a resource for students who have some familiarity with the process. It is easy to forget a step or two if you are just learning or if it has been awhile since you warped using a board or pegs.
Using a warping board or pegs makes it easier to manage colorwork and structures based on odd ends. It eliminates crossed ends behind the heddle that often occurs with the paired system of direct warping. It can be more ergonomic and allows you to top and start your work without taking up a lot of space. It takes a few more steps, but give it a try for a couple of warps and you will have a new tool in your weaver's toolbox.

I love the video. Direct to the subject no talking, clear view of the thing done, 10/10. 👍
You make it look so simple!

Cliché to say, but practice makes perfect. A trio of short narrow warps worked fairly quickly one right after the other and you will have it down pat. Think of it as making a set of a dozen coasters of all different shorts and sizes. They are an addictive format.
This video just helped me successfully do this for the first time! Thanks for helping me face and conquer my indirect warping fears, ha ha. I'll probably stick to direct warping most often, but so helpful to know I have this option in the toolbox now. ☺️

Great handle! One of my favorite words.
Thank you, Liz! This makes me feel more confident to give this a try. I also like how you show other options for warping tools. I can do this!

You can!
This was so helpful. I have a very small workspace and this is so much more manageable than direct or hybrid warping...seemed faster, too.
This was THE best video on indirect warping! Wow!!! Thank you so much. I was too frightened to try it before, but this video is very empowering.

To the loom!
When you say to tie the choke closest to the cross to the front beam, it looks like you are doing the exact opposite, tying the choke farthest from the cross, because you are then holding the cross with your hand and threading your heddle from that. Am I missing something?

Are you counting the ties securing the cross as a choke? I'm tying the choke on the warp closest to the cross, the one placed the same distance from the tip of the warp to the choke as the length of your loom. The other choke I tied was at the end of the warp.

It's a little difficult to watch what you are doing and read the side caption instructions, especially if you are inexperienced with indirect warping.

Thanks for the feedback. I hear you! The video is meant to be a quick review, not a full tutorial. I am assuming the viewer has some familiarity with the subject. You may find it helpful to slow down the playback speed.
The music is so annoying. Makes it impossible to watch video.
