Clasped-Warp Weaving Tutorial

Clasped warp is a clever technique that enables a weaver to begin a warp end with one color, and finish with another, placing the join anywhere along the length of the warp. The weaver chooses the location of the color changes, placing them in either a planned or freeform manner as the warp is measured. Even better, direct warping of a rigid-heddle loom lends itself beautifully to this idea; clasped warp is a technique that’s much easier to do on a rigid-heddle loom than on a multi-shaft loom.

Wondering how clasped-warp weaving works? Robin Lynde describes the basic technique and how she uses clasped warping creatively in this tutorial.
