Video Transcript

"Hi. This is Debbie the roboteer and I'm here for Expert Village to show you how to do a rag weaving on a handmade loom. Right now what we've got is, we've got our weaving on here and started. But you loosen the warp, which is this part, whenever you put it in storage, so what we want to do right now is tighten this up so it's easier to get the strings to come out. And it's really fairly simple. So, you tighten up one end and then you tighten up the other end. Just big old bows, so this is just nice, strong twine that'll hold it together, and then you tighten the middle one. And just like you're tightening it now to use it for weaving, you want to remember to loosen it up a little when you store it. That way it'll be nice spring for when you want to lift the threads through and get your rags in there."
