A two-page article from Master Weaver explaining why a warp should be beamed wider than its width in the reed, especially for fine yarns, to reduce friction and breakage of edge warp ends. It recommends spreading the warp with a raddle rather than a reed, describes raddle types and how to attach one to the slabstock, and gives instructions for making a simple nail raddle at home. A diagram illustrates the angle of the warp ends between reed and cloth.
