Tabletop Beaming and Threading System
This is a versatile system for winding and threading your own warps at a table, away from the loom. It has three main functions:
A) Threading a Saori ready-made warp
Holds the harnesses and reeds upright and the warp threads in an easily accessible position. Once threaded, you can transfer the complete set (reed, harnesses and warp) easily and safely onto your loom.
B) Winding your own custom-made warps
Wind your own warps onto a card tube to keep and use later. It is an easy and efficient process and means that your precious warps can be kept securely 'pre-beamed' and ready for you to thread up and start weaving whenever you are ready.
C) Threading and beaming your own warps
Thread and beam your own hand-made warps. It is much easier and more comfortable to thread and wind the warp at a table, rather than having to stretch out to wind on at your loom or enlist a second person to help.
Choosing your system
Because the components can be used together in a number of different ways, I have put together some options to help you choose what you need. All of the individual parts are also available to buy separately on request, please contact me to check prices and availability.
To use the system, you can either temporarily remove and use some parts from your loom or buy these parts as extra accessories. So the first thing to decide is whether you are happy to use your own loom parts, or if you would prefer to be able to continue to weave on your loom whilst using the Beaming and Threading Holder.
The options below are for 60-series looms (WX60, SX60 and CH60). The system can also be used with Piccolo and WX90 looms. Please contact me for more information.
