![]() If you want to read more details on a shed stick, I posted about that here. ![]() However, try it out and find out what you’re most comfortable with. I have found that I only like to use the shed stick if I am weaving numerous rows of plain weave, but if I’m creating shapes or changing colors, I find the shed stick is more bothersome to me. When I use a shed stick, I just use a metal ruler I have to create the shed (or gap in my warp). Weaving on a frame and using a shed stickĪ shed stick is not necessary, but it does speed things up. Step 4| Continue with this pattern until you have warped the loom to the amount you want and then tie off your warp in a slip knot when done. See below for a side picture of the warp threads forming a figure 8 on the frame. So basically you are always crossing over the front face of the loom and around to the back making a figure 8 across the frame with your warp threads. Again bringing the warp thread over the top face of the frame at your warp mark and then down around the back. Step 3| Pull your warp thread across your loom again. Step 2| Pull your warp thread across your loom to the corresponding warp mark (washi tape gap, notch, mark, etc) and bring your warp thread over the top face of the frame then down around the back. On both the frame loom (see a DIY for this here) and looms similar to the Wildcraft Studios loom, you tie the slip knot aligned to either your washi tape gap, like I have, or the notched gap (I also had a smart reader who just marked their warp areas with a marker, so if that is what you’re working with align to your marks). Step 1| I always start my warping with a slip knot, which I shared how to do that in a video here. Also if you’re new to this, the terms seem very foreign, but they are just a description and aren’t very complicated once you get the hang of it. You can find a definition of the general terms here. I’m going to be using weaving terms to explain this, so if you’re new to weaving, don’t be intimidated by these terms. I do cover how to warp a frame loom (& a notched loom) in a previous post, but I decided that I need to go into some more detail, to cover all the questions she had. I helped talk her through how to go about this and I wanted to share in case others were having the same issue. She had received a beautiful loom from Wildcraft Studios, which she discovered is not meant to be warped the way you typically warp a notched loom, but more similarly to how a frame loom is warped. One such question I received recently was from a reader who received a notched loom as a present. Although I too am learning new things, I especially love when I can help someone out with a question or issue they are having. As most of you know by now, I started this blog because I love weaving so much and I wanted to help others learn to weave too.
