    I agree with the other commenters, this is far and away the best warping tutorial on KZread. You remember several important details like keepingbthe top and bottom sections seperate, and not letting the yarn pass through your hand as you roll.

    This is the best warping instructions I have seen on KZread. I have been watching a lot of them and you are clear and give instructions in a very organized way with extra hints I have not seen anywhere else. Specifically tying only half the warp together to separate them. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us.

I am now going some where else buying me a loom and going to try to just t warp the loom. When I do , I found a new place to take rigid heddle loom classes. I talked to the teacher. She sound great.

    I could not have learned to get started on the Cricket Loom without this video! I am able to borrow the loom from my Library for a two week period. That means I have to return the loom, and start over again for another two week period. When my memory needs refreshing I turn to your videos. For now I am just doing small projects to see if I want to make the investment in my own loom someday.
