Warping The Sectional Beam
Page | 79
Figure 61 - Winding on the Warp
Tie an overhand knot near the end of the warp threads from one section and
slip that knot into the opening of the larkshead knot you create in the
Extension Cord. Pull it tight.
Line up the Tension Box to the section you will be winding.
Adjusting The Size Of The Section
Now, slowly wind about one revolution onto the Beam. As you wind, you will
need to fine-tune the placement of the Tension Box along the track. When it
is centered properly, tighten down the wing nuts under the Tension Box. At
this point, you can pivot the “pivoting reed section” so that the yarn comes
close to, but doesn’t quite touch, either the hoop to the left or the hoop to
the right. Now tighten the wing nut under the pivoting reed. This shouldn’t
need to be readjusted unless you are using a different yarn size in another
section.
