Tie on the yarn as loops that go around the outside of the loom. Make sure there are not twists in the loops. As far as how tight to have the loops; it’s kind of an imperfect science. You don’t want them to be floppy, but they don’t have to be as tight as possible either. Many times my knots don’t hold really well, so test different kinds of knots or different combinations of knots until your warp strings are reliably tied on. The spacing is also hard to determine and regulate. It all depends on the tightness you desire for finished product and the thickness of yarn you are using.
