How are the threads set up on the loom?
On a basic loom, a sturdy spring across each end spaces the warp threads and holds them firmly in place. Stringing the warp threads onto the loom before you begin weaving is called warping the loom. To begin warping the loom, tie a slip knot at the end of the thread over one of the screws. Pull the thread across the top of the loom, and lay it into corresponding slots in the left and right springs. Keep the thread parallel to the loom edges. Pull the thread taut, and wrap the thread around the screw. For more detailed information on warping the loom, please see the instructions that came with your loom and our Beading Technique, Assembling a Beazu Bead Loom.
