Warp and Cloth BeamsUpdated 5 months ago
Most looms have two main beams: the warp beam at the back, where the warp threads are wound, and the cloth beam at the front, where the finished fabric is stored. On double-shafted looms, these beams are often heavy-duty to support complex patterns and longer, thicker warps. This setup allows for more extensive and intricate projects without compromising tension or stability.
Tip: Keep an eye on warp tension as you advance fabric onto the cloth beam, especially for dense projects. Even tension is key to avoiding inconsistencies.
