How to Warp Your Large Wisdom Warrior Loom

January 18, 2023

Jewels shows how to warp the Large Wisdom Warrior to make a wrap bracelet. The knobs at the ends of this loom makes it just as easy to warp as the Original Jewel Loom, but with no rod.

The Large Wisdom Warrior, made from sustainable baltic birch in the U.S.A., is built to either warp/weave on one side or both sides. Jewels designed this loom, so longer projects can be made on it, such as chokers, hatbands, & belts. If you want to create a long project, like a belt, wrap the warps around both sides, wrap the warp around the same knob, then go back in the opposite direction.

This tutorial is the first tutorial in the Jewel Loom Jewel Box's Beaded Multi Bead Size & Shape Wrap Bracelet. The Jewel Loom Jewel Box is a monthly workshop with kit. A few of this wrap bracelet kits are still available to purchase: https://jewelloom.com/products/monthly-workshop-kit

oh my goodness it's always so much fun

when I am demoing on the large wisdom

Warrior as you can tell you know she's

she's pretty long that's why we love it

we love her when we're making our hat

bands and our chokers and our wrap

bracelets like we are today

um so I just wanted to go over a little

Adding the cord

bit

um you know just a closer look at how to

add your cord I'm using the repeat the

1.5 millimeter repeat from beadalon it's

a sustainable uh cord that is made from

plastic bottles it's super cool

um it's going to be laying on top of the

grid because as you can see

you know the the

um the little grooves they you know

they're tiny they're made for you know

like wildfire beating thread I do

believe I've been able to get the 0.5

millimeter hemp into one of the grooves

so when you're working with something

larger uh like the 1.5 millimeter repeat

it's just gonna lay on top of the groove

Adding the knot

okay so I went ahead and I tied my cord

to the back uh or actually this is the

top button and the knot I always want

the knot to be on the top of the button

so that when I pull the cord or the

beading thread or whatever material I'm

working with There's No Lack there's no

you know like sometimes what I found

happening is say the knot would be way

over here and then people would always

say Hey you know I'm losing tension on

that very first warp well lo and behold

it was just that little bit of space

that they weren't pulling tied on and

then guess what there was just that

little bit of lack in the warp so get

the knot pull it towards you and since

we're only going to be doing two warps

I'm just going to work down the center

of my wisdom Warrior Loom

and I'm going to come all the way down

to the bottom I'm going to prop up her

top there

and I'm just going to do an eyeball you

know so I can see that I am pretty

straight okay and then I'm going to

Let's it's like this reminds me of a

time when I had to like uh I had a huge

Tahoe you know Tahoe truck and I had to

get out of a very very tight space

um but it had super awesome steering and

I was able to do it that's what I feel

like when I'm maneuvering the large

wisdom Warrior for videos anyway okay so

the cord is laying on the grooves and

I'm getting ready to wrap around the

bottom button and I'm going to do it

twice so I come around once and then I

come around again and I just do that to

help secure

whoa uh the tension with the warp that

was cool

that was super cool okay all right so

I'm gonna eyeball

um for this particular project we are

skipping seven I think that might be

close let me see one two three four five

six seven I gotta go over one okay

and then I'm bringing

the repeat back up to the top and then

I'll turn around because I've got my my

steering

all right and then all I'm gonna do from

Tie off the loom

here is what we would do uh with our

other loomed projects is I'm I'm going

to tie off

um I do just want to make sure that I'm

skipping

it looks about right skipping seven one

two three four yep okay and then once

again I'm just going to wrap around the

button

once

twice now when you're using a more

expensive material like the repeat or

leather you really do want to learn how

best tie off with uh the last less waist

right so

um so try you know try your best to keep

your tension

the instrument let's see

is it a cello

okay

um so yeah so I'm going to just trim

this I again I don't want to waste this

product because it is a higher end

product and

okay hopefully that's enough

for me to maneuver and I'm going to save

that of course this is also where let me

get in the screen sorry about that this

is also where I talk about

having the Flats on hand the flat nose

because they can kind of come in as your

see how that helps and then I'll just go

through the loop basically you're just

trying to tie off okay so don't like

like oh what is she doing I'm simply

trying to get a good get a good knot

so that my warps don't

don't

come apart or get loose

so let's see let's see how that worked

yep do we do okay

awesome all right so there we go so for

this particular project let me see if I

can't do this we are making a wrap

bracelet and so

um we're just doing two warps where

we're going to fit random sized and

styled beads so from Square beads to

round beads to seed beads to check beads

to I have a whole plethora of yumminess

over here but yeah just that simple so

practice don't you know don't get a

fluster if your warps are not tight on

the first try

um we always say to practice and when

you're working with a big Loom like the

large wisdom Warrior

um give yourself some Grace and just

practice uh you know maybe maybe even

get some yarn you know like something

that's not all that expensive that you

can play around with okay all right I um

I'm super excited to get going on the

wrap bracelet next I'm going to come in

and show you how I got started

and then we'll just uh yeah we'll be

beating we'll be beating for a while

okay see you right back here
