heddles, and about six inches past the reed when the beater is in its rear
position. Now open two opposite tabby sheds and insert the lease sticks into
these sheds behind the harnesses. Secure the sticks together with tie tapes
through the holes.
Now carefully cut the fabric from the loom and tie bundles of warp coming
through the reed together with a half-knot so the yarn can’t slip back
through the reed. Cut the warp in back (leaving one foot past the lease
sticks) and also use a half-knot to tie bundles of yarn together for security.
After winding on the new warp on the Beam, you can sit behind the loom, on
a small stool and tie corresponding yarns from the two sets of lease sticks
together. An overhand or weaver’s knot work well. This may seem slow at
first, but you will work up a faster rhythm with some practice. A good goal to
reach would be to tie 200 to 250 ends together an hour.
When all ends are tied together, go to the front of the loom and gently pull
on the bundles of yarn going through the reed to pull the new warp through
the heddles and reed. You may find that turning small bundles of the warp in
a circular, clockwise motion will help them through the heddles and reed.
Then tie on to the apron.
