Second article in a series on tapestry weaving from The Handicrafter, explaining how to make and mount a warp on a portable tapestry frame loom. It covers choice of flax or hemp seaming twine at 12 ends per inch, winding skeins on pegs, cutting and mounting the twines in the reed-wire stretcher bar, taking the cross with colored cords, and making and attaching healds to a heddle-rod. Numbered figures and illustrations show the skein, loop knots (snitches), loom frame and heald construction.
