Sectional Warping

Sectional warping is a process that allows Christine to tie on to her last warp and not have to re-thread the heddles and reed.

 

 

 45" Wide Le Clerc Counter Balanced Loom  

     Christine uses a tension box to wind on her sectional warp.  Her shawls and scarves are woven with rayon chenille. 
Extra tension comes from wrapping tensioning dowels with felt.		  The loom, located in a corner,  makes winding on a traditional warp an awkward process. 

 Therefore sectional warping is more convenient & efficient.		  For several years she wove yards of cotton fabric to make into placemats and napkins.

 This is just one of many warps she wove.
