MAKE SHED 2

Pass the shuttle into the space between the threads. Pull the shuttle towards the last row firmly. Do not

move the first row forward. Pull the shuttle out of the space – pull the weft thread tightly. The weft threads

will move together closely so you cannot see the weft at all through the warp.

KEEPING THE EDGES STRAIGHT

The first 2-3cm usually look poor because the tension isn't right yet and you may have some crossed

threads. Don't worry! This part can be unravelled when the finished braid is cut off the loom.

From now on it's possible to keep the edges beautifully straight by followings simple rules:

1. Keep the warp very tight. A high tension

makes the whole braid and edges look better

when finished.

2. Try to keep the same tension, on the weft

as well. Make it quite tight so that the warp

threads slip on top of each other.

3. Everytime you pull the shuttle out of the shed,

before you tighten the weft, pull the previous

weft thread again. That will even out the little

loop that occurs between the two outer warp

threads, which is essential when it comes to

making even edges.

MOVING THE WARP

Release the wing nut. Move the tension block down. The warp will slacken. Pull the warp forwards towards

yourself until the end of the woven piece is about 5cm from the front peg. Gradually move all the threads

around from peg to peg!

TAKE CARE when you are using the longest warp length! Do not pull too tight! You will break a peg! Tighten

the tension block. PUSH the leashes back to their correct position.

FINISHING

When you can't move the warp any further, weave any longer and the knots in the warp are close to the

leashes, simply cut the whole thing off the loom by cutting each half of the warp a few centimetres behind

the leashes. Pull the threads out off the leashes and nothing is tied to the loom.
