The thread is continued in this same three step pattern, until the entire loom is warped the proper number of warps you'll be using to loom. This same thread is to be wrapped up around the top bar, in between a groove of a spring, brought down the front, wrapped around the bottom bar, (no spring attached) and double looped around the original warp bar (where the knot was first tied). The one warp bar, that arrives with the loom, is movable and is the point where your first warp thread is tied. Once you include the accessories, desired to make this a great bead loom, your cost can be overwhelming for a loom this size. The base price of the loom is so much more then other wonderfully crafted looms on the market. Speaking of accessories, this is what really shot the total cost up.the accessories. The frame is adjustable, if you purchase additional accessories. Since they have the warps, of course it can also accommodate beads!
