Next the weaver warps her loom.
She ties her different-colored yarn to the back beam,
then pulls it, strand by strand, to the front.
There she ties it again, making the warp.

When it's time to weave deep blue,
she'll wind that color on the shuttle
the way a painter dips her paintbrush in the paint.
Then she'll guide the shuttle
over and under the warp
to make the weft.
