A variety of specialised tools are needed to perform weaving, a craft that has been practised for generations, in order to produce beautiful and functional pieces of fabric. Warping tools and yarn winding tools are among the several weaving equipment used by weavers. These tools are necessary for anyone who wishes to make intricate and accurate patterns in their work.
Warping tools are used to measure and prepare the warp yarn for a weaving project. This process involves measuring the length of the warp and attaching it to the loom. There are several types of warping tools available for weavers, including warping boards and warping mills by Schacht.
The most basic kind of warping tool is a warping board, which is made up of a number of pegs or nails placed in a rectangle or square pattern. When using a warping board, you simply transfer the warp onto the loom by wrapping your warp thread around the pegs in a specific pattern. Although this procedure takes time, it is perfect for small-scale projects.
A warping mill, on the other hand, is larger and more complex. lt works by having you wound your warp thread around the pegs as the cylinder rotates to produce a straight and even warp. Compared to warping boards, warping mills can save a lot of time and are best for larger jobs.
Thread Collective offers a range of warping and winding tools from Schacht, including warping mills, warping boards, raddles, resource books, and more.
