Threading, Sleying, & Tying On
7)
Attach each baby warp to the Extension Cords and proceed as in
regular Sectional Beaming procedure.
8)
Since you are not using the Tension Box for tension, be sure to
keep it taut manually.
9)
When you come close to the end of the section, take the reed
cover off and continue winding the rest of the baby warp.
10)
Secure that section to the Beam and continue to the next one.
If you wish to use the Tension Box to maintain tension on your warp during
the Wind-On phase, it will be necessary to make a Cross at both ends of
your warp. If you can make your warp slightly longer, you can use the extra
length to leave in your Tension Box for the purpose of tying on the
subsequent sections.

Preparation For Threading
To prepare for threading, tie the threading cross-sticks in a comfortable and
visible position between the Back Beam and the harnesses.
The important thing in threading is your comfort. Take the time to position
everything so that your body feels at ease while threading.
Threading The Harnesses
Now we’re ready to thread the loom. If you are right handed, it is
recommended to start at the right side of the warp. Grasp one group of ends
in your left hand and your sley hook in your right hand. Direct the “hook
end” of the sley hook through the “eye” of the first heddle you need to
thread. Pull the thread through.
For example, if you had a straight draft on eight harnesses, your first thread
would go through the eye of a heddle on the 8th harness. The second thread
would be threaded through the eye of the first heddle on the 7th harness,
the third thread through the first on the 6th harness, and so on.
Some weavers mark the center heddle on each harness and thread from
center, out to each side. This allows for leaving an equal number of heddles
at both sides of the harnesses, when threading is completed.
