    So cool and straight forward. No $700 tension box, no spools and no stool rack. Nice job.

    Glad it helped you. I am now learning about using a tension box to see if I like it better or not.

    I use the warp waste in tapestries or I use them for choke ties when I've wound my handspun yarn onto the niddy noddy. Cheers!

    All you need to do for the knot is adjust the length of the leader string. That way you can adjust where the knot lands without replacing the string. You can do that by making another knot in the string close to where it attaches to the warp or to the metal bar, either end works great. I like that you aren't using a tension box. I was unaware that could be done. I'm definitely going to try it.

    I have looked for a good video on this for months - yours has been the best I've found. I do have a question for you - do you use a tension box when you have more than 8 strands? I do have the bobbin and spool rack. I'd really like to do some dish towels, but I'm somewhat intimidated by everything as it is so very different from my rigid heddle looms. I have wound all the bobbins for the towels I've planned, but I'm not real sure what to do with the tension box.

    Thank you for the compliment. I too am a bit intimidated by the tension box. I have used the same method in my video for 24 EPI cotton to make dish towels. I hope to try out a tension box this summer. If I can figure it out I plan to make a video on it. Wish me luck!

    Question. I already used the warp board with the criss cross. Do I still keep it or pull the tread and just straighten each out

    You can use it but as you comb through the threads it will go more slowly as you comb out the cross as you go along.

    Hopefully just one more question when you're tying the string on the sectional.I could not tell where the knot landed. I'm just talking about the string not the warp at this point.

    How do you know how long the thread is thats needed?

    I am assuming you are referring to the string attached to the rod on the sectional. I am not sure if there is a common way to do it but I would take a scrap thread and measure a loop for the path the string will follow. Tie the loop and add it to the sectional to be sure it's the length you want. I then use that string as a guide to measure the rest of them.

    @kanika3790 So should it be long enough to wrap all the way around the beam at least one time? My beam is much smaller. My sectional beam is much smaller

    i understand that everyone has their own methods but you are using 2 methods for this warp. with a sectional beam, you should not have to do the warping board procedure. the loom should have a tension box and it should be pulling directly from cones.

    I don’t have a tension box which is why I was taught this way. If I ever get one I will need to make a video on using it lol
