Warping Guide for Palmers Mini Inkle Loom
Home Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5
Set your tension peg about 1/4 of the way from
the front end of the slot.
On the
classroom
model use the second tension hole.
Attach the slip knot around your tension peg nut,
(on the classroom model just
slip it
on the tension
peg), then bring your threads around the bottom
to the
front peg on
the working side of your loom.
The pattern we are making today is a simple bar or
ladder pattern.
Take your first heddle on your dark thread and
attach to the heddle peg as
shown,
position the
heddle knot on the bottom side of the peg. The
second
heddle on your
dark thread will be the
last heddle placed on loom, and you can
just
slide this heddle
down the thread as you warp
the loom to keep it out of
your way until needed.
Take your dark thread over the top of the first
top peg and around the rear top
peg.
After going around the rear top peg go down
to the tension peg and around, be
sure
to stay
below the heddle peg and always go around
your pegs from top to
bottom.
After going around the tension peg go back
up to the middle rear peg and around.
Then go down to your center peg and around,
then to the bottom rear peg and
around to the
front peg, as seen in picture. This is your
warping path for
all odd
numbered (heddle,
1 - 3 - 5 - etc.) threads. Remember to always
go
around your
pegs from top to bottom.
Still working with your dark thread, come around
the front peg and go straight
to
the rear top peg.
At this point your thread should be between the
two
pegs on
your front arm.
From the rear top peg continue on the same
path as the first thread. This
is your
warping
path for all even numbered (2 - 4 - 6 - etc.)
threads.
These two threads will
determine the
color of the edge of your weaving. Creating
a straight line of solid
color. This is also the
color thread you
will use to fill your shuttle.
Take your first heddle on your light thread and
attach to the heddle peg as
shown,
position the
heddle knot on the bottom side of the peg. The
other
heddles on your
light thread will be placed
on loom as needed, and you can just
slide these
heddles
down the thread as you warp the loom
to keep them out of
your way until needed.
This is your warping path for all odd numbered
(heddle, 1 - 3 - 5 - etc.)
threads.
Remember to
always go around your pegs from top to bottom.
Still working with your light thread, come around
the front peg and go straight
to the
rear top peg.
At this point your thread should be between the
two
pegs on your front
arm. This is your warping
path for all even numbered (2
- 4 - 6 - etc.) threads.
These two threads will determine the color of the
outer stripe for your ladder.
Creating a straight
line of solid color.
