Warping Board: a Pegged Frame for Measuring Warp
Warp is measured by winding it round pegs, from two door handles up to a board with pegs on it. A warping board is a frame with pegs down both sides and two cross pegs near the start: the zigzag path sets the warp length and the cross keeps the threads in order.
The picture: our diagram of the board and a warp path.
