Winding on a warp To get the warp threads onto the loom is a simple task, albeit a fiddly one. There is a roller at the back of the loom that the threads are attached to.... this is called the 'back beam'. The groups of threads, seperated earlier when the warp was wound are then spaced by a wooden comb called a raddle that they pass through. This makes the warp the correct width. One hand pulls the warp forward to keep the tension, while the other winds the beam at the back. Stiff paper is placed between the layers of yarn on the back beam as it is wound to stop them sticking together. |
