July's Program was Great!

Today's program given by Carla was very informative.  We learned the 3 basic methods of warping a rigid heddle loom but focused on the "Hybrid" method using a small warping board.  Using the warping board eliminates the need to walk back and forth for a long warp as in the "one-peg" method.

Carla is demonstrating the "Hybrid" warping method below using her 16" Ashford RH loom and a 4.5-yard Schacht warping board.  (She found having a 2nd set of hands was very helpful!)
