This is so helpful! I think I got confused by all the complicated videos and different methods but for me, just wanting to get started weaving on my loom, this was perfect! Takes the process back to basics, i no longer dread warping! Thanks :)
Thank you so much for this video. Warping my new rigid heddle has seemed so intimidating to my ADHD and epileptic brain, but you managed to make it just seem doable and really clear. I really appreciate that, and am going to give it a try this afternoon. And I know this is an old video, but can I apologize on behalf of the incredibly short sighted and self absorbed people who post asinine and poorly thought out complaints? Good grief. You’re doing a magnificent job and a really kind, lovely service for us. Thank you again.
Excellent video. I was given a 20” schacht flip loom for Christmas with 2 of your books. I’m waiting for my yarn to arrive, so I figured I’d get myself mentally prepared for the warping, having read some rather frightening comments (elsewhere) about how difficult it is. It doesn’t look too hard...just putzy. I begin to zone out when watching overly chatty demos, so I really appreciate that you made this without talking. You got right to the point and demonstrated. Thank you!
As a beginner, I found this helpful. Seeing all of the steps quickly gave me a "big picture" overview that brought the information from my video classes more into focus. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I have been searching for 101 level video overviews on weaving but all were either far too vague or far too detailed with specific numbers calculations and whatnot. This was an excellent demonstration of how the process physically works, and I actually feel confident enough now to further pursue my new interest in weaving as this is the first time I feel like it's not all going over my head and that I'd never be able to do it. Also I interpreted the title as intended, as a 'demo in 3 minutes'. Little as I know and confused as I was by other much longer videos, I at least knew already that no way would warping itself take 3 minutes!
I am new owner of Ashford 16” SampleIt rigid heddle loom and have looked everywhere on internet for tutorials on how to create a short warp or information about the shortest warp and/or projects that can be accomplished on my loom. Any advice welcome.
I often teach different techniques using what I call my minimum viable scarf using a 50 inch long warp about 5 or 6 inches wide or sometimes I’ll create a “runnette” a small runner on an even shorter warp-about 45 inches by 5 inches. They are more useful sizes than one might think.
How tightly do you have to wrap around the peg? I have a vintage 20" loom with no clamps and it took me 3 hours crawling on the floor and trying to weigh objects down so I could keep tension. I could probably do it faster now, but keeping tension would still be an issue.
Tension isn’t important when wrapping around the peg. You aren’t tensioning the warp at that stage. The tensioning happens when you are packing the beam and tying on.

Beka has a good video on their channel you may want to check out. They are using the indirect/warping board method, but the attachment process is the same with the direct/peg method. You would hook the loops over the teeth, pack the beam, then move one thread from a slot to a hole and tie on. ruclips.net/video/_KqJl3A0GG0/видео.html
Cass - I hope you've figured out how to warp your Beka. If you have any questions about this simple little loom, you may ask me. I've woven on mine since 1991. One of the most important things to do is when you tie onto the front beam, make sure the heddle is in the "UP" position, not in the warping blocks. If you don't your down position will have serious tension issues. To do this, tie a bundle onto the front on each side while the heddle is in the warping blocks. Then move the heddle onto the top of the heddle rest. Finish tying on the rest of the warp. Then go back and re-tie the first two you did.
do you always grab the same way, say all loops from under the rod? or over and under? does it matter? I so enjoy your channel, thanks so much! shalom, grace in vt
+Grace Brunelle (Gracespins) that is a great question and one that trips up more weavers than almost anything else in the warping process. All that matters is that you go around the rod. What happens naturally is the action alternates-one time you will go under and the next time you will go over, but it doesn't matter if you keep track. Just make sure you go around the rod-and not the back beam-and all will be well. Thanks for stopping by!
It is a threading or heddle hook and most weaving retailers sell them. The particular one I was using here comes with the Cricket loom. woolery.com/schacht-heddle-hook.html
It depends on a lot of factors, such as how many warp ends you have and the length of your warp. This particular warp would take a little less than 200 yds.
It would be nice to warp a small loom in less than 3 minutes, but I don't have anything to make me move faster. About how long is the process without the acceleration?
+tm13tube It takes me about 20 minutes to warp an 8-inch worsted-weight scarf. For most beginners it takes about twice that long. You get faster the more you do it. I made this video very much tongue and cheek as a demonstration of the process. In my book "Weaving Made Easy" and DVD "Slots and Holes" I step out the process in much greater detail. Thanks for stopping by!
+Vicky Conery The goal is to make sure that your yarns are wound on evenly, not necessarily under tension. You can always tension the later. One of the biggest mistake warpers make is messing with their warp while they are winding on. This is true for rigid heddle, floor or table loom weavers. In doing so you inadvertently pull on individual threads changing the collective tension of the warp. I made this mistake for years and have the lopsided warps to prove it!
@@LizGipson Just found this video. I WISH someone had told me this when I first started years ago (and gave up). I just started again with a rigid heddle and this clarifies soooo much!

I hear you. This was meant to be a bit of fun, more of a demonstration than a tutorial. My educational videos don’t have a soundtrack running throughout.
Considering it was a completely visual tutorial with no spoken words, if people don't like the music they can always turn off their volume. I found that the music helped me focus on the video.
misleading title this took 2:41 and you sped it up so it would take longer then 3 minutes to warp a loom, it does show how to do it, good for a beginner but most manufacturers of looms have a warping video so this just show the same thing only sped up
This video is meant to be a demonstration not a step-by-step teaching tool. The goal was to show folks the steps quickly for those who are curious about how the process works. You are right there are so many many indebth learning tools out there and I hope folks will seek them out once they see how approachable the processes. I meant the title to be more tongue and cheek, not literal.
I thought the music was great fun, as it reminded me of early home movies. But as others have said, one can always hit the MUTE if the music is distracting.
Not useless even for a complete beginner; as someone said above it gives an excellent overview and also acts aas a quick reminder for someone who has only done the process a couple of times. What I find unnecessary is where a video shows a simple process (such as hooking the yarn through the heddle) in real time for all the threads. Once it has explained what to do and how, instruct the viewer to pause (so they can do it for themselves on their loom) or fast forward to xxx for the next step either if they are just watching or so they can see how to do the next step. This three minute video shows all the steps perfectly clearly and could be used by a beginner if they watch it through a couple of times to get the whole picture then work with it, pausing it at appropriate times.
If you want more of an explanation, then find a video on the subject that's more than 3 minutes long. You're not going to get in-depth details in 3 minutes.

BEST and fastest warping video I’ve seen for rigid heddle beginners! Thank you so much!!!
thank you so much for this! it was exactly what I needed, a quick refresher on how to use my new loom.
Excellent video. I was given a 20” schacht flip loom for Christmas with 2 of your books.

As a first time warper, this was invaluable.
Fantastic video for this beginner! Great videography and occasional notes, without having to slog through a loooong prologue. Thanks!
Thanks! This is a nice quick way to see the whole process without a long drawn-out explanation! Loved it.
fionadouglas1 so simple without chattering
I always love watching this video. Thanks Liz for this and all your other instructional and inspirational videos.
You are my hero! Thank you for creating this video...I think I can be a little more fearless and furious in warping my rigid heddle now!
Just love these fast concise videos
Mind blown. I bow to your genius. Thank you for sharing.

I got a real kick out of the music. Quick and to the point. The toughest part for me is tensioning on the apron bar. THank you.
Hello Liz
Thought I would watch this before class on Wednesday 😀 See you soon.

Thanks for the video! That's how I do it but it helps to rewatch someone else!😍
I love the music. It's fun! You know, there is a volume control available on electronic devices. Just in case.

What tool are you using to pull the yarn through the heddles, and where did you get it?

It depends on a lot of factors, such as how many warp ends you have and the length of your warp. This particular warp would take a little less than 200 yds.
did you alternate putting string through a hole, then a slit?
I did. First you thread the slots, then you wind one, then you move one slotted end to a hole, and you are warped!

Well done! Please change white letters with something darker and easier to read!
that's not reality when you have a warp thats almost across the room. lol
Ha! I never said how long the warp was ;) My fastest time is under 8 minutes with a warp of this length.

For the record, that kind of music is REALLY distracting on tutorial videos like this.

Yeah, music can be annoying. Thank goodness the mute button was invented if the score just isn’t your jam.
the music is horrible ... that's why people don't take seriously looms .
I hit the 'mute' button - didn't even hear the music...

Three minutes? Ah hahhahahhahahah... the VIDEO is, but actual warping not so much!
I took liberties ;) What I do love about the rigid-heddle loom is that I can warp that exact same warp in less than 20 minutes.
Useless for a beginner. Nothing more than glitzy use of technology that show the what but not the why. And is poor at showing the what.
