The advantage of using a warping board is its portability and ease of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother popular warping tool is the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/threadcollective.com.au\/products\/schacht-horizontal-warping-mill\"\u003ewarping mill\u003c\/a\u003e, which is a tall vertical frame with pegs arranged in a circular pattern.
