What Is a Warping Board

Warping Boards are the most commonly used measuring devices. The 14 yard warping board is one yard across. To withstand the strain of threads under tension, this board has the hardwood dowels tenoned, and are securely pressed into the frame. We recommend hanging your warping board so the warp goes up and down.

How is warp length determined?

You can consider the amount needed for fringe at one end to ne the part of the warp you used for tying on and spreading the warp (the 10″ mentioned above). To determine the length of warp needed for the scarf itself, divide 65″ by . 9 (100% – the 10% shrinkage), for 73″ warp length (rounding up).
