WARPING YOUR LOOM AND TYING ON NEW WARPS: Peggy Osterkamps' New Guide to Weaving #2 - Revised Edition, Peggy Osterkamp.
Here's a book that answers a beginner's every question about warping and at the same time acts as a timeless resource for
experienced weavers. Osterkamp teaches the European method of working from back to front to put on a
warp that is smoothly beamed and perfectly tensioned. She explains the "why" of warping and sells you on her
techniques. Sidebars show handy tips and tools to make the job of warping easier and more fun - freeing the weaver for
weaving. She takes special care to adapt all methods to each type of loom.
The profuse diagrams are clear and easy to follow. ISBN: 0963779354. 188 pages, Spiralbound

Revised, Peggy Osterkamp.
What a satisfying revision this book is! All weavers know what a tedious,
but important part of the weaving process winding on a well- prepared warp
is. The abundance of information for doing this task in the techniques
laid down by our forebears will make this book a classic in weaving literature.
Learn how to use several styles of paddle to design and wind warp as you
go. Follow the detailed advice and sidebars throughout - if not on this
warp, the next. This book is just too rich with information for few
words. Fully illustrated. Many yarn charts and sett tables.

find this book to be a most valued resource in the quest for interesting
projects to fill this youthful need to create with interlacing. Illustrated with
