had to get a new warping board for my loom bc mine broke several months ago and i haven't had the energy or will to fix it (it's a handmade wooden one my late stepdad made for me, so i WILL fix it i have to fix it for sentimental reasons but i just can't right now) so after putting it off for ages i finally bit the bullet and ordered a new one. i hate how expensive this equipment is it's literally just 4 pieces of wood with dowels wym it's $160 kms. whatever i can finally weave again

#there are ways to measure a warp without a board but i hate them #i actually hate warping boards too i prefer warping mills 100 times over but they are like minimum $300. evil #you can use an inkle loom for short warps and the rigid heddle loom i have can work as a warping board #but not when its got a warp and project in progress already on it so its only really useful as a board for itself #i just really dont like methods other than a big warping mill so using anything else feels miserable #i love those big ass ancient warping mills they have at textilmidstod and at my old unis textile studio nobody gets me like they do
