This lesson discusses the process of preparing the warp threads for setting up a loom, specifically the process of warping (in French, ourdissage). Warping is the operation that involves preparing the warp threads before they are mounted onto the loom for weaving tapestries. It details the steps for preparing the warp threads, creating the crenilles (groups of threads), using different wooden dowels for measuring and creating crosses (called encroix), and preparing the threads for installation on the loom.
This course covers the preparation of heddles on a loom for weaving, specifically how the warp threads must be set up to create the necessary openings during the weaving process.
This course delves into advanced tapestry weaving techniques, focusing on the methods used to join and separate areas of different colors.
