Chaining Off Your Warp

After you’ve created a fabulous masterpiece of a warp on your warping board, you need to transport it to your next step in the dressing the loom process. Here is where it’s helpful to understand what goes into chaining off your warp.

In today’s video, I’ll walk you through the process in one fell swoop, talking you through the key points to remember. Keep in mind that this process will feel a tad awkward the first few times you try it. It has a sort of patting-your-head-and-rubbing-your-belly vibe. But before you know it, you’ll be a pro at creating loosely interlocking loops in order to gracefully move your project to the next step.
