A warping board built for weavers who care about precision.

Winding a warp should be one of the most meditative parts of your weaving process — not a source of tangles, uneven tension, or miscounted lengths. This handcrafted hardwood Warping Board is designed to wind smooth, consistent warps with absolute control over length and tension, so every thread arrives at the loom ready to weave. Pair it with a handmade raddle to keep your warp ends separated and under control all the way through beaming, and an adjustable yarn swift to feed yarn smoothly from skein to warp.

Available in two sizes — 4.5 yards and 13 yards — to suit everything from small rigid heddle projects to longer floor loom warps. Both sizes let you wind to any increment within their range, so one board covers a wide variety of project lengths.

Available peg options:

  • Maple pegs
  • Limited Edition Walnut pegs

The walnut peg option is being offered as a limited-edition version for weavers who want a darker, richer hardwood accent on their warping board while still getting the same smooth function, sturdy construction, and dependable winding performance. Both peg options are permanently glued in place and built for regular studio use.

Built with the same attention to craft as every tool that leaves my bench, it's designed to be a working part of your studio — not a wall decoration.

Key Features:

  • ✓ Choice of maple pegs or limited-edition walnut pegs
  • ✓ Hardwood pegs glued permanently in place — no wobble, no shifting, no loose parts mid-warp
  • ✓ Pegs protrude 6.5" for a secure, comfortable grip on every pass
  • ✓ Two D-rings on the top stile and two ¼" holes on the bottom stile for flexible mounting — wall hang or table clamp
  • ✓ Wind any whole-yard length on the 13-yard board, or any half-yard length on the 4.5-yard board, within the board's range
  • ✓ Winds consistent, even tension across every thread for a smooth, tangle-free warp
  • ✓ Every corner finished with a 45° chamfer for a smooth, refined feel in hand
  • ✓ Made from premium hardwood with the same exacting standards as every tool that leaves my bench
  • ✓ Proudly handcrafted in America

Limited Edition Walnut Peg Option

For this release, I'm offering a limited-edition walnut peg version in addition to the standard maple peg option.

The maple pegs offer a clean, classic hardwood look, while the walnut pegs add a darker contrast and a more distinctive studio-tool appearance. Both peg options are made to function the same way: smooth, secure, and permanently glued in place for dependable warp winding.

Because the walnut peg version is limited edition, availability may be more restricted than the maple peg version.

Wind Any Length. Not Just One.

The 13-yard board lets you wind any whole-yard length from 1 to 13 yards — wind a 2-yard sample warp just as easily as a full 13-yard project warp, all on the same board. The 4.5-yard board lets you wind any half-yard length from ½ to 4½ yards, giving you precise control over shorter warps. Whatever your project calls for, you wind exactly that — no more, no less.

Two Ways to Mount. One Solid Board.

The Warping Board is designed to work the way you work. Hang it on the wall using the two D-rings on the top stile for convenient storage and casual winding. Or use Studio Hooks through the two ¼" holes on the bottom stile to clamp it firmly to your table — my preferred method for active winding, where a rock-solid board makes all the difference in keeping tension consistent from the first thread to the last.

The D-rings are spaced to make wall mounting straightforward and secure. On the 4.5-yard board they sit 16" on center, and on the 13-yard board they sit 32" on center — both sized to align with standard stud spacing so you can mount directly into a stud for a solid, reliable hold. Drywall alone won't give you the support a board under active winding tension needs, so hitting a stud is the right call.

How to Use:

Secure the board to your table using Studio Hooks through the bottom stile holes, or hang it on the wall using the D-rings on the top stile. Tie your warp thread to the first peg and wind back and forth across the pegs to your desired length, counting each pass to track your thread count — on the 13-yard board each full circuit adds one yard, and on the 4.5-yard board each increment adds a half yard. Tie off your cross using the two dedicated cross pegs on the top stile before removing the warp to keep threads in order at the loom. Once your warp is wound and ready, the shuttle you reach for will depend on your project — whether that's a slim open bottom boat shuttle, a slim closed bottom boat shuttle, a double bobbin open bottom boat shuttle, or a double bobbin closed bottom boat shuttle.

What's Included:

4.5-yard board: 2 maple rails 1" × 1.25" with 5 pegs each, a top stile 17" with 2 cross pegs and 2 D-rings, a bottom stile 17", 4 hex head bolts 1½", and 4 #12 × .562" washers for assembly.

13-yard board: 2 maple rails 1" × 1.25" with 7 pegs each, a top stile 34" with 2 cross pegs and 2 D-rings, a bottom stile 34", 4 hex head bolts 1½", and 4 #12 × .562" washers for assembly.

Peg Selection Note: Depending on the option selected, your warping board will include either maple pegs or limited-edition walnut pegs. The board structure, function, winding capacity, and included hardware remain the same.

Care & Storage:

Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, which can cause wood to warp or check over time. Hang on the wall using the built-in D-rings when not in use. A well-cared-for hardwood tool will last for years of studio use.

Frequently Asked Questions — Warping Board

The Warping Board is available in two sizes — 4.5 yards and 13 yards. The 4.5-yard board is ideal for shorter warps and rigid heddle projects, while the 13-yard board handles longer floor loom warps. Both sizes let you wind to any increment within their range, so one board covers a wide variety of project lengths.

Each full circuit around the pegs equals a fixed, known length — one yard on the 13-yard board, and one half-yard on the 4.5-yard board. Count your passes as you wind and you always know exactly how much warp you have. No measuring tape, no estimating — just an accurate count every time.

The 13-yard board lets you wind any whole-yard length from 1 to 13 yards. The 4.5-yard board lets you wind any half-yard length from ½ to 4½ yards. Whatever your project calls for, you wind exactly that — no more, no less.

The board can be hung on the wall using the two D-rings on the top stile for convenient storage and casual winding. Or you can use hackle hooks through the two 1/4" holes on the bottom stile to clamp it firmly to a table — the preferred method for active winding, where a rock-solid board makes all the difference in keeping tension consistent from the first thread to the last.

The main difference is warp capacity and increment size. The 4.5-yard board winds in half-yard increments up to 4½ yards — great for rigid heddle weavers and shorter projects. The 13-yard board winds in whole-yard increments up to 13 yards, making it the right choice for floor loom weavers and longer project warps. Both boards use the same quality construction and mounting system.

The rails are made from maple — a dense, stable hardwood that holds up to years of active use. No finish is applied, so the wood stays natural. Every corner is finished with a 45° chamfer for a smooth, refined feel in hand. A well-cared-for hardwood warping board will last for generations of studio use.

Absolutely. The 4.5-yard board is a natural fit for rigid heddle weavers who typically work with shorter warps, while the 13-yard board handles the longer warps that floor loom projects demand. Both boards give you the same precise length control and consistent tension — the right size just depends on how long your warps typically run.

CAUTION — PROTRUDING PEGS & TENSIONED YARN

The wooden pegs project outward from the board and are working parts of the tool.

• Keep hands, face, loose clothing, hair, jewelry, and other objects away from the peg field while winding

• Wind yarn slowly and deliberately

• Maintain controlled yarn tension

• Avoid placing fingers between tightly tensioned yarn and the pegs

• Do not lean into or reach suddenly toward the mounted board

• Keep away from children and pets

• This is a weaving tool, not a toy


BEFORE EACH USE

Inspect the Warping Board before use.

Do not use the board if:

• A peg is cracked, split, loose, severely worn, or damaged

• The wooden frame is cracked, split, excessively warped, or structurally damaged

• A mounting hole or mounting area is damaged

• A D-ring or other mounting component is loose or damaged

• The board cannot be supported securely

• Any component has become unstable

• Any other damage could interfere with safe or normal use


SECURE THE WARPING BOARD BEFORE USE

The Warping Board must be securely supported before winding yarn.

Suitable mounting methods may include:

• Wall mounting using the installed D-rings and appropriate wall hardware

• Riley Wood and Fiber Art Studio Hooks using the provided bottom mounting holes

• Appropriate clamps using suitable mounting areas

Before use:

• Make sure the board cannot unexpectedly slide, tip, rotate, or release

• Confirm all mounting components are secure

• Use only a stable and suitable wall, loom, table, or work surface

• Recheck the mounting if the board moves during use


WALL MOUNTING

When using the installed D-rings:

• Use wall hardware appropriate for the wall construction

• Use anchors where required

• Confirm all fasteners are securely installed

• Make sure both D-rings are properly engaged

• Gently test the board before applying yarn tension

Do not use loose, undersized, damaged, or unsuitable wall hardware.


USING STUDIO HOOKS OR CLAMPS

When using Riley Wood and Fiber Art Studio Hooks or suitable clamps:

• Position the board securely at the edge of the supporting surface

• Use the intended bottom mounting holes where applicable

• Confirm both mounting points are secure

• Hand-tighten Studio Hooks only

• Do not overtighten clamps or Studio Hooks

Excessive clamping pressure may damage the Warping Board, mounting hardware, or supporting surface.


SAFE WINDING

Wind yarn around the pegs in a controlled and deliberate manner.

Maintain consistent tension without pulling excessively against the pegs.

Do not jerk or snap yarn around the peg field.

Keep fingers clear of tightly tensioned yarn where it contacts the pegs.

If the yarn becomes tangled:

• Stop winding

• Reduce yarn tension

• Correct the tangle before continuing

Do not force yarn around a damaged, loose, or obstructed peg.


YARN PATH

Follow the intended peg path for the required warp length.

The yarn path may include both horizontal and diagonal passes between pegs.

During winding:

• Keep the yarn seated securely around each intended peg

• Avoid crossing the yarn in a way that creates unnecessary snagging or uneven tension

• Maintain a clear, deliberate path through the peg sequence

• Stop and correct mistakes rather than pulling tightly against an incorrect path


PEG SAFETY

Before use, confirm that all pegs are:

• Securely installed

• Structurally sound

• Free from cracks or splits

• Free from hazardous splinters

• Smooth enough for normal yarn contact

Do not use the Warping Board if a peg has become loose or damaged.


YARN TENSION

Use only enough tension to keep the warp organized and controlled.

Excessive tension may:

• Place unnecessary stress on the pegs

• Distort the frame

• Make yarn difficult to remove

• Increase the chance of yarn snapping or shifting unexpectedly

If excessive tension develops, stop and reduce tension before continuing.


CARE

• Remove loose fiber and yarn after use

• Keep the wooden frame and pegs clean and dry

• Do not soak or submerge the Warping Board in water

• Do not use harsh cleaners or chemicals that could damage the wood or finish

• If the board becomes damp, allow it to dry thoroughly before storage

• Periodically check peg security, D-rings, mounting holes, and frame condition


STORAGE

Store the Warping Board:

• In a clean, dry location

• Away from excessive heat and moisture

• Where projecting pegs cannot be struck or contacted accidentally

• Protected from heavy impacts or crushing

• Without heavy objects resting directly on the pegs

If removed from the wall, support the frame rather than allowing the peg field to bear the weight of other objects.


DISCONTINUE USE

Stop using the Warping Board if:

• A peg becomes loose, cracked, split, or broken

• The frame develops structural cracking or significant warping

• A D-ring or mounting area becomes damaged

• The board can no longer be mounted securely

• Hazardous splinters or damaged edges develop

• Any condition develops that could interfere with safe or controlled winding
