Warp a Floor Loom Front to Back
This is how I warp my floor loom front to back. The method for beaming the warp via "Crank and Yank" can also be applied to a RH loom.

Easier to use than a warping board! You can put this together and start using it in less than 10 minutes.

After making a thread holder to make a warp chain in record time, I used it to make a yarn cake in record time.

I saw a woman on youtube use this "tool" for wrapping yarn around the pegs of her knitting loom and thought...heck why not for warping too? Dismantle an old ball point pen, pass the yarn though the tube and voila, you have a nice "handle" for yarn o rthread. This is especially nice for those of us with arthritis. :D

This is how I warp my counterbalance loom back to front. This same technique can be used on your rigid heddle loom frame as well. Once the warp threads are "beamed" then you pull them through the heddles from the back to the front by sitting at the front of the loom. The next time I warp, I'll make a video showing the next step but for now I'm anxious to get weaving :)

Converted Rigid Heddle Loom to Floor Loom
How I converted my rigid heddle loom into a 4 "harness" string heddle bar floor loom using foot pedals. I used 2 - 1 x 4 fir boards for the main uprights and pedals, the rest is dowels.
