b Sectional warping • Keeps tension equal on all yarns.
• Yarn first wound section by section on a drum, 4 Measuring device (Counter meter)
then transferred to beam.
• Measures exact length to be wound.
• Suitable for complex patterns (like stripes, checks). • Ensures all warp yarns are same length.
• More control over colours and length. (Fig 3)
5 Drum (in sectional warping)
• Cylindrical surface where yarn is first wound in
layers.
• Then transferred to beam.
6 Warp beam
• Final roll where all warp yarns are wound parallel.
• Ready to mount on loom.

Working process (Direct warping example)
1 Place cones in creel.
Key parts of a warping machine 2 Pull yarns through guide rollers and tension device.
1 Creel 3 Set the required length (e.g., 500 meters).
• Holds cones (200–1000 or more). 4 All yarns are wound in parallel onto the warp beam.
• Mounted on frame, yarns pulled from here. 5 Beam is then removed and stored or sent to sizing (if

2 Guide rollers needed).
• Keep yarns aligned and separate. Importance of warping
• Prevent tangling. • Maintains uniformity in yarn tension and length.
3 Tension mechanism • Helps in smooth running of loom.
• Spring-loaded or disc-type tensioners. • Reduces yarn breakage during weaving.
