 On a warping board, establishing the path is a simple matter of carrying the guide string back and forth to measure out your warp’s length. Any arrangement can be made as long as all the warp threads measure out equally along the length of the guide string and there are pegs for the leases at each end. See Figures A, B, and C. If you warp your loom from back-to-front you need two leases. Front-to-back warping uses just one. 
Whether you make one lease o  r two, it’s more efficient to use the pegs sequentially, up to the length you need, as in Figure D rather than randomly.

I just wonder, what do you do when your warp is of such length that your warping pegs fill up. I’m having a terrible time with the yarn popping off of the pegs. I’ve pushed back and pushed back….I still have 100 ends to warp on a 360 ends warp. Any tips of tricks?
Peggy says to make the warp in sections. In other words, make smaller warps and combine them. Look up bouts in the index of my book for beginners.
Thanks. I’ll try that!!!
Hi Peggy! I still remember very fondly your weaving classes in New York City years ago. I’ve been offline for a while due to computer issues that have now been resolved (by getting a new computer), so I’m very glad to find your presence on the Internet!
