A method of converting a warping arrangement having two creel halves and a warper from a setup for long lots of one style to a setup for shorter lots. The method includes converting transfer package positions on each of the creel halves to running package positions and providing a yarn sheet transfer device associated with each creel half to permit the recreeling of each creel half by placing leading ends of newly recreeled yarn packages into yarn guides on the yarn sheet transfer device associated with the creel half while yarns from the other creel half are running to the warper through a yarn sheet transfer device associated with the other creel half.
