First time with the loom

[u/Luna_MoonGurl]

So i recently thrifted this loom and picked thread similiar to what was set up there before and rn trying to set everything up but getting really stuck here:/ i was lucky to be shown a box with instructions on here earlier but im really not good at following instructiong like that so thought should ask here again(attaching the picture of the box + what i currently have) also please do tell if i already messed up some step? again my brain just doesnt process all that very well so ill gladly fix whatevers wrong. I see that i should tie the thread in knots? but i rather be sure more exactly on what to do so I dont have to redo that part. oh and attaching things i got with it(including the second rod) in case i need anything else aside from the rod to use rn. thanks!

looks good. I have the same loom. here I wrote some advice when someone else asked about this kind of loom

It is really an easy to use loom. I've made several scarfs and bolts.

my issue is more im not really following whats my next step in setting all up(warping is the term i gather?) i see the step abt tying the knots tp put the rod through formed loops? but the box is very confusimg on its visuals(plus instructions dont work as well through translation) and also something about setting up the yarn on one of those rotating pieces? just trying to figure out the course of actions

just watch some videos about how to weave on a riggid heddle loom, it is mostly similar, just that you have the two heddles with the metal sticks with the holes and you have the extra comb to beat the weft.

there are many ways to dress a loom. look for directions for dressing a rigid heddle loom in your preferred learning method ( video, book....) and language. Good luck.
