Before you start weaving, you put in a few popsicle sticks. There are 4 reasons for doing this.
1. You will immediately see if you warped correctly.
2. You can remove some tension differences.
3. It is easier to start straight.
4. You have something to beat against.
When you have woven a bit, you can remove the sticks.
