Slip knot: connecting to warping posts, final knot when tying onto  front bar








  1. end of thread faces you, 
  2. wrap over and around two fingers and toward hand (behind fiber loop being formed), 
  3. bring yarn through the loop that’s formed  
  4. pull tight

Overhand Knot: joining new warp color when warping the figure 8. 

 This is done at the warping post. Also used to tie off the ends and create fringe 







Create a loop with the end of your yarn(s) facing away from you.

2: Bring the open end of the yarn around to the back and through the loop.

3: Pull tight.

Half Hitch: use 2-3 half hitches to secure scrap yarn to ends of heddle bar to keep warp from coming off. Also used to keep thread from unraveling

2. Slip the loop over the rod

3. Pull tight

Larks Head #1: one long yarn becomes two on the rear rod

You need 1 piece of yarn and something to attach it to. 










Step 1: Fold your piece of yarn in half and lay it underneath your dowel rod, stick, or whatever you are attaching it too with the loop end up.

Step 2: Bring the open end of the yarn, around, and through the loop above the stick.

Step 3: Pull the yarn all the way through the loop and position where you want it.

Step 4: Pull tight!
