Tablet Weaving Diaries: Converting the Warp into a False-Circular Warp

Tablet Weaving in Theory and Practice

2 жыл бұрын

In this video, I show you how I take the loops of yarn with the knots off the first peg of my loom and attach them to the other end of the warp, turning it into a false-circular warp. When I'm ready to advance the warp, I can just reduce the tension and slip it round.

Interesting; that's not as complicated as it at first appears. You also have the advantage of swapping one length of loop for a longer or shorter one.

Makes it so much easier and quicker to advance the warp than repeatedly swapping the pegs that the warp ends are attached to. If it's a really short warp that won't reach all the way around the loom, I use a long length of cord to make up the difference.

I'm fairly new to tablet weaving and wondered why you didn't start off with a circular warp?

It wasn't circular to start with as I wasn't using a continuous warping method and had to cut the yarn to thread it into the tablets. I usually start with the beginning knots over the first peg of the loom as I find it gives the band a tidier beginning than tying all the yarn into a single big knot. All the Diaries videos show what I personally do. I always advise people to use the method that works best for them.

@@tabletweavingintheoryandpr5238 thank you. It had never occurred to me not to have a circular warp when using a loom like this. It's good to know other methods and I love your video ideas.
