This is a note-sheet that I prepared for classes I've taught in person. I don't expect it to make sense ahead of class, but hope it will be helpful information after the first class.

These are instructions I prepared for the frame you will be receiving by mail. It is the "owner's manual" to be included with each sprang frame shipped by the frame-makers. Again, I do not expect it to make sense before class, but hope it will be useful after we talk about warping.

The sprang frame may have been rattled around a bit in the mail. You might want to check the cross on the frame before class, Thursday, March 20. The video at the left guides you through the process.

Definition of terms
Weavers may already be aware of these terms. Apparently "normal" English words, you might think their use a bit odd ... so I define them here.
Warp: a set of threads that will become the cloth
Cross: the one-up-one-down arrangement of threads, intended to maintain order among the threads
Front threads: the threads held in your hand
Back threads: threads not in your hand, dangling at the back of the work
Shed: the space between front threads and back threads
