Warping Board - 4.5 & 13 Yard Weaving Warp Winder

🎉 Pre-Order Now — Ships by July 31, 2026

I'm currently taking pre-orders on the Warping Board. These are being handcrafted now and will ship no later than July 31, 2026. Order today to be among the first to get yours. I'll keep you updated every step of the way, and as always, I'm just a message away if you have any questions.

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.
