Successful warping is just a video away! This comprehensive video includes warping from back to front with a paddle, using a raddle. Weavers can measure warps easily using anywhere from 4 to 20 ends at a time with a stationary warping paddle. The motion is rhythmical; crosses are made quickly, and all warp ends remain untwisted. When combined with a back to front beaming, this method is ideal for multi-color warps and all types of yarn. Includes information on reading weaving drafts plus threading, treadling and tie-up information for jack, countermarch and counter balance looms.

This is a particularly valuable video. Although I usually warp sectionally, this does not work in every case. This video presents methods of loom dressing that are accurate and fast, with other valuable weaving tips. Highly recommended.
Very clear instructions and lots of useful information.
I'm a new weaver and found this dvd to be very informative and will use the tips learned from it.
Great DVD especially for beginning or novice weavers. Would recommend to other weavers of limited experience.
Excellent video for a weaver with some experience with a 4 harness loom. Includes choosing sett, planning warp pattern, and treadle and tie up instructions with jack, counter balance and countermarche looms. The video begins with a list of the necessary equipment and tools and follows with many applicable hints all the way through to the front apron tie-on.
This 2 dvd set was amazing. The "Tip & Tricks" disc in particular was very helpful. I'm sure I watched it at least 4 times, and took extensive notes. The ideas have already been put to good use.
A must watch for any beginning weaver!
