- In this video I show you how I string the heddles on my Union Loom. The next video in the series will show you how to pull the strings through the reed.
You can purchase my rugs in my Etsy Shop: Cutting The Rug Weaving Studio

Addendum-Still using the same old Union loom with shafts and heddles like yours. Anything bigger than 8/2 cotton, I will warp front to back. I made some more wool cloth from my homespun. I made a 42"x42" warping frame. I find it more expedient to thread a dent and then the appropriate heddle at the same time. The first time my 38" material become 32" material but lesson learned- 12 epi for a 12 dent reed. I know that people make rugs because they are easiest to sell at Shows. I made a cloak for my grand daughter in Wyoming. It is heavy but it keeps her warm.
I tied on a warp of 8/2 cotton yarn on an old Union Loom with two shafts. I had 16 ends per inch and 16 inch wide warp so that was 256 yarns. I had to make a modified rattle stick with 16 spaces between the 17 straight pins. After rolling every 16 yarn segment onto the warp beam, I had to secure the ends with duct tape in such a way that they would stay in order. It was a lot of work for five dish towels, I'm tellin' ya'!
You’re videos are awesome, none like them on you tube. I shared them with the Union Loom Facebook groups.
Great warping and weaving series. I wish you'd put out more weaving videos. I didn't hear how many yards you put on
Thank you🤓
Great, useful video. Does the lack of a lease/cross in this style of warping ever create issues?
I am looking at buying a loom but worried about waring of the loom. where do you buy the string ?
