This is brilliant! I am several metres into a project on my Schact Cricket (on which I always have tensioning issues, much worse than my Ashford) with PERFECT tension. Thanks so much for this video

A tip I read was to use rubber matting used for shelve liner instead of paper. It is suppose to grip better. I haven used it yet as I am just now getting into watching these videos for help in using the one I got in high school back in 1976. I guess it’s an antique now 😅

I like this tension method the most for a RHL. It only uses the same space the loom does, meaning I don't have to worry about limited space around me. I'll definitely be using this method from now on. Thank you very much for sharing! ❤

I've just warped my RHL using my new warping board and the warping sticks. So so much easier and I don't have to take over the dining table. ❤

Hi Steph. Can I ask what size (diameter) dowel you used? Thanks.
@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane7 ай бұрын
Luckily, I have been so busy I haven’t removed the stickers yet 😂. It says 16mm.

Do the dowels turn (roll) as you roll the warp? Or do the rubber bands hold them tighter than that? Thanks!
@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane2 ай бұрын
Mine stay put with the rubber bands. Hope this helps!
