Any rigid heddle loom, table loom or floor loom requires warping, the purpose of which is to measure your warp threads and align them so that they do not get tangled and can be easily threaded on the loom. There are pros and cons to each method.
Most beginners start with a warping board and raddle.
For information about sectional warp beams, see our pages for each loom manufacturer. Require C clamps. You may use only part of the frame so that smaller warp lenfths can be made. Maximum sizes are noted. All can easily be disassembled for storage.
