I like this way of warping. While I don’t have an Ashford loom, I certainly can use this method on mine. 😊 Thank you.

Yes, you can use this method with any loom. I've even used it with a floor loom for a short warp! Thanks for watching.

Thank you. A thorough explanation of what is done and the reasoning behind it. I like your calm, well-planned approach. As a beginner, warping still intimidates me.

Glad you found it helpful! Warping can be intimidating but just take is slow and be methodical about it and all will be well. Thanks for watching!

I would appreciate a next video from here, I'm new to weaving and your video was helping me so much to start warping my table loom but now I'm stock. 😟

You might want to check out this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/onltmZixj7vVptI.html. It's on a floor loom but the concept is the same. Maybe I'll do a multi part video of the whole process on a table loom.

I am sipping coffee and watching... occasionally backing up and watching again. 😊 My recent adventures - a threading oops gave me opportunity to add a warp thread - (center of the fabric) IT WORKED😂 happy dance. I have also learned how successfully tie a extra wire heddle to the heddle rods , when i threaded off center and ran out on that side. 👍 . I needed a rest from garment shapeing (increase and decrease manipulated warp) Currently learning waffle weave. And switching my shafts to individual weights, ... from counter balance. . Looms are fascinating... and mind boggling 😅

Oh don't you just hate those threading errors? But having the knowledge to fix them is so satisfying. Being able to think on your feet and solve problems as you run into them will serve you well in weaving! What do you mean by switching shafts to individual weights? Is this a counterbalance loom thing? I've not work on a counterbalance loom. Thanks for watching and happy weaving ♥

​@tangledwebsweaving .. yes it is a counter balance loom issue... I had all my shafts setup as counter balance, that was easier for me to understand > but to do waffle weave it's easier to lift each shaft as needed I only have 6 shafts assembled, so I re-did the tie-up and added weights - now I can do up shed or down shed on each shaft. I think as my skill grows, this setup will assist in doing double weave tube structure for garment shaping And now, I can understand the waffle weave sequence.

Thanks for this video, I just bought my 8 shaft loom and have not yet received it, so watching videos in advance and I do direct warp with my rigid heddle loom also, was not sure you could do this for 8 shafts, now I see you can do it. Will watch more of your videos, I have watched some of your rigid heddles, hence this video popped in my feed. I am new to weaving, got my 1st rigid heddle loom mid Nov 2023, but I truly always wanted a floor loom, but no space for this here, so went with table loom instead. You use the same table to sit your loom on as the one I will be using.

I'm glad you found it helpful. I hope you like your 8 shaft table loom as much as I like mine. Direct warping isn't as easy on a multi-shaft loom as on a rigid heddle loom and you can't really create a cross. But it is possible and if you're doing a simple pattern you should be ok. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Grace. I have never warped with this method. Good to know about an alternative to the warping board.

You're so welcome! It's very helpful with short warps like this one. Thanks for watching,

I'm just wondering why you didn't bring the warp yarn through the heddle and then through the reed to begin with before winding around the peg. For a simple 1-2-3-4 tie up on a 4-shaft I would think we could pull the yarn through the first heddle and then the appropriate dent in the reed, skip heddle 2 and the second dent and then pull warp yarn through heddle 3 and the third dent. Then repeat this sequence across the warp threads and wind on as per your video. Then it seems like it would be easy to gently extract one of the two threads in each dent/heddle and rethread it into the neighboring heddle 2 or 4 and through the skipped dent next to the dent from which it was extracted. It would cut the threading time in half because half of the threads would already be properly positioned in the reed and heddle 1 & 3. I haven't tried this on a multi shaft loom with Texsolv heddles so I don't know if there would be some difficulty winding on when the yarn goes through the heddle. But in my head it seems like it could work, though I can see how the process might get confusing on looms with more than 4 shafts. I just got a new-to-me 4 shaft table loom so I think I'll give it a try.

That's a really interesting idea. I've never thought of doing bit that way (I don't direct warp my multishaft looms very often) but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would be similar to warping front to back where the yarn goes through the red and heddles before being would onto the back beam. The only difference is you have 2 threads going though the red and heddles. Maybe I'll give this a try on my next project. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching.

Heya … so what do I do next? Do you have a video on rest of the set up? Cheers, Jo

So this video just shows how to get the warp onto the loom. Several of my other videos show the entire warping process but this one specifically might help kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5mbppWflbLgqKg.html. Thanks for watching.

Hi Grace, I'm curious about the beaming process. I'm warping up my Ashford 8 harness, 16" table loom, just like yours. This is my first project on it. I beamed with the brake rachet engaged, so as I was windung on the rachet made the click click click sound. It appears you did yours with the brake un-engaged?? Comments? Thanks, jill

Hi Jill. I did beam with the brake unengaged as I was turning the knob but then would engage it when I pulled on the warp. I only did it that way because the clicking was sooooo loud lol. Doing it with the brake engaged is probably the correct method.

You never practice warp this way before? Because i saw many troubles in this video😅

I've done this warp method before but not in awhile. It's not normally used on a multi-shaft loom but it does work with modifications. The warp turned out great ~ no problems. Thanks for watching.

Any task done while filming is different from the same task without filming. Also, I learn a lot every time I see Grace under pressure.
