Warping or Dressing the Loom

There are many ways of getting a warp onto a loom in preparation for weaving. I thread the loom from the front, although many weavers choose to thread from the back. Threading through the front works best for the type of weaving I do and the yarns I like to use.

After deciding on the pattern and how many threads in the warp, the warp is then wound and threaded onto the loom through the dents and then through the heddles and wound onto the back beam.
