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 the next part of warping back to front. After beaming your warp, move the lease sticks towards the front of the loom right behind the shafts. This makes it easy to see which thread comes next in the threading order. Threading is even easier if you count the SHAFTS and NOT the heddles ;)

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 :)
