Every card weaver has their own preferred method for warping—and in this class, you'll learn two essential techniques to get you started! We’ll explore the single-card tie-on and circular warping methods, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each and when you might want to use one (or even combine both!).

Whether you're new to tablet weaving or looking to refine your warping skills, this class will give you a strong foundation to set up your loom efficiently and weave with confidence!
