10 Steps to Warping – BTF

10 Steps to Warping – Step 10 – Tying the Warp
When the warp has been evenly wound on to the back beam, you are almost ready to weave. All that remains is tying on to the front apron rod and checking your tension.

The warp threads are tied to the front apron rod in about 1 inch sections. Bring the bout of threads over the rod, split the bundle in two, and tie a single overhand knot and tighten the tension. Repeat this all the way across the warp threads.

Once all the threads have been tied, run your hand lightly across the threads. You should be able to feel for loose spots – if any of the threads have an uneven tension. Again tighten all the threads, adjusting any that are loose.
