Setting up the loom, called warping, is a pain point for many new weavers. That’s what makes the rigid-heddle loom so spectacular, it is amazingly easy to set up and use even for a beginner. In this brief video I zip through the process of warping a rigid-heddle loom using the direct warping method. For a more thorough approach, check out my book Weaving Made Easy.
There are lots of resources on this website to get your weaving journey started off right, check out Yarnworker’s Rigid Heddle FAQ, Terms to Know, and coming soon, The Yarnworker School of Weaving where you can take your first class from the comfort of your own home!
