Thanks!  The best place to learn fast warping is at triple W (dot) lindahendrickson (dot) com. She has posted a video on it. It is listed under 'Instructions' as 'How to make continuous warp'. Linda Hendrickson is a marvelous weaver. Check it out!

the magnet idea is clever

@ollieoniel Thanks! I once bought a similar system that was designed for Cross stitching. I have no idea what I did with it but this one is pretty much the same. It's not an original idea by any means but it sure works for card weaving.

I wish to teach my grandaughter card weaving and would love to know where you obtained your frame or plans details. Grandad

@GrandadandOlivia Good for you Grandad! I have posted detailed photographs of my loom at nellanellabest.blogspot.com  If you 'google' that you should end up at the blog. I peiced together the loom from several different sources. I wanted a portable one I could use while travelling. For teaching your grandaughter you may just need the backstrap tensioning device, some cards, some crochet cotton and something to tie the cords to. Yesteray I jused a tree. It was finally sunny here!

Thanks so much! I'm just took a class on cardweaving and have the basic idea but kept getting lost if I got distracted. This method will be a big help!

[Nellabellabest]

@connipal  You're welcome. It was the details of what needed to happen and why it needed to happen was what made card weaving easier for me. The breakthrough was from Philia's research when she said the thread that crosses the to of the card is the one that shows. Check out 'Philia's String Page' for more!

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I have been asked to make a crois for a hand-fasting ceremony this year, and had no idea where to start. Thank you so much for this video.

Clear, concise directions. Thanks. Have always wanted to learn cardweaving, & just ordered some cards. Still have to find a tutorial on warping, but your video gave me a better understanding of how it all works.

Thank you for this. I am so new I haven't even woven anything yet. The magnet idea is great because keeping track of where I am is a worry to me too. Can't wait to get started!

The magnet thing is a standard cross stitching method. Crochet and Knitting as well.

Thanks for replying so soon but nothing is found under Google searches. perhaps you could email them to me as we will be using them in the RV whilst traveling in the holidays.
