My new loom uses the continuous warp method. Which means the warp is wrapped all around the frame and you can weave something nearly twice as long as the loom is tall. I followed the directions but was honestly unsure how it was going to work. The warp bar holds the top and bottom loops, and before the warp is strung, the bar is wedged in place. It turns out that the opposing forces from the top and bottom loops hold the warp securely, so that when it comes time to move the weaving, you loosen the tension a bit and the weaving slides easily around the outer frame. Neat!
