Start by laying the loom on the table. Tie the end of the cotton warp to the bottom bar of the loom to secure the thread to one end of the frame. Continue to wrap the warp up, around the notches, or 15mm marking if making your own loom, and down on the loom until you have the desired width of your tapestry.
