Whether you've been warping for years or are brand new at it, you can take the worry and stress out of warping with this new DVD from the editor of Handwoven Magazine, Madelyn van der Hoogt!
Madelyn has been teaching weaving for more than 30 years and in this video she shares not only her love of the warping process but many uselful tips and hints on doing it right!
From Madelyn van der Hoogt: "I love the simplicity of the way I warp, and I want weavers to feel the same way I do about the process. I didn’t invent any of the steps I use, but over the years I’ve come to understand and refine and simplify them. I explain the “why” of each step in the video, pointing out which parts are essential for success. I know that weavers are intimidated by warping. Even experienced weavers sometimes have warping disasters, and just one of those can make you dread ever warping again. If you don’t have to worry about what might go wrong, you can truly enjoy every step: the rhythmic motions at the warping board; comfortably sleying the reed on a tabletop; the repetitive, relaxing threading of the heddles; the easy and trouble-free tensioning of the warp as it goes on the beam. Every part of warping can be as pleasurable as weaving.
