2 Christmas wreath hangers can be readily obtained and allow you to hang the warping board to a door with the small side up - makes warping less stressful on the bones and is the board is easily removed for storage.

Betty's recipe for Fraying Preventer

Mix 1/3 Duco Cement® and 2/3 Acetone. Both products are readily available at the hardware store. (Use it to refill those expensive Fray Check bottles!)

Taking Off a Sample

To take your sample or finished weaving off the loom while retaining your warp, weave ½ inch of plain weave and put Fray Check on. Let it dry or use a hair dryer to speed this step up. Place a dowel in the loose thread and use shoe strings to secure the new warp to your front breast beam or bar.
