With a tight warp and fibers against each other some fibers slide easily, but some are "sticky" and do not slide easily against each other when making your SHED. The warp fibers in Inkle weaving go through string or Texsolv heddles. The separators should extend past "limiters" (dowel pegs on the Inkle/Belt looms, Warping U Brackets on the Lap Loom, and adjustable steel pins on the Wave) so the warp threads will not spread out past and over the ends of the separators.Ģ. Short pieces of Venetian blinds are ideal, and wood "craft sticks" will also work (though thicker). As you wrap the warp on try to keep it flattened out and firmly wrapped. With Cloth/Warp Beam Inkle Looms you can make much longer warps than a "continuous warp" Inkle, and when weaving you will want your warp tight. It is important to have your warp wrapped properly onto the Warping Beam. Some Advice for Weaving with an Inkle Loomġ. To reduce shipping costs this item is shipped with the reel bars and many parts disassembled. Or collapse it in the stand, either with the feet turned outward (Photo 2) or release the feet and turn them long ways to set the Warping Reel against a wall (Photo 3). You can collapse the reel after removing it from the stand. Turning the wing nuts and washers out will release the spokes and the top will fold into a width of 10 inches (Photo 2 and 3). The Reel section spokes are securely locked open by tightening wing nuts and washers on both sides into locking depressions (Photo 1). You can separate the two sections by simply lifting the reel out of the slots it sits in. The Warping Reel system is made of two sections, the Reel and the Stand. You can control whether the reel spins freely, turns slowly, or locks with an adjustable friction brake. (For example 12 yards of 300 strands of 5/2 pearl cotton can easily be measured). The amount of warp varies by thread type, and width. There are 2 lease crosses that can be put anywhere on the Reel section to start and end your winding. Because it is horizontal the warp does not slip down, and to wind your warp threads all you need to do is turn the reel.
The reel bars are 30" across and almost 2 yards around. The Horizontal Warping Reel allows you to easily make a long or short warp.
