As an alternative to Direct Warping, the Indirect Method can be used to prepare your rigid heddle loom for weaving with two heddles. Indirect warping requires a warping board or reel and a pair of lease sticks of an appropriate width.
Ashford's "cross sticks" can also be used as lease sticks. Also Schacht, Leclerc and Louet make lease sticks of various widths; so if you are adding lease sticks, you want them a little longer than the maximum weaving width of your rigid heddle.
