Weaver's Craft Issue 4: Warping from the Front of the Loom

Each issue of Weaver's Craft provides in-depth information on a weaving-related topic, as well as several projects.

From the publisher's website:

Warping the loom from front to back is direct and fast and doesn't require any extra equipment, such as lease sticks or raddle. The warp is first sleyed in the reed, then the heddles are threaded, the warp ends are tied to the back stick, and the warp is wound on through the reed and heddles. Follow several tips for avoiding common pitfalls. In Part One—Making the Warp, see how to wind and tie off a warp for front-to-back threading. In Part Two—Threading the Loom, see how to handle one or several yarn bouts without tangling.

The project is Potpourri Warp Pillows from a warp that's designed in the reed to intermingle an assortment of different yarns.

Also included:

• Some useful knots
• Interlocking the wefts at selvedges
• Secondhand yarn, trash or treasure?
