The Kenzo DIVIDING ROD is extremely well made and allows for a smooth comfortable table top, not hunched over the loom , ergonomic experience. it will fit any of the saori 60 series looms and adaptors for the Piccolo looms too.
But first lets start at the begining , WINDING THE WARP
the amazing Saori warping frame in my Etsy shop saori 14 yard warping frame click here
Here is my student Leigh Ann during a class at the studio learning this new method . this is her 14 yard warp
The threading system is well thought out and well made I have them for sale in my Etsy shop BUY THE NEW WARPING SYSTEM HERE or at the studio.
I could wind warps and beam on my own custom ready made warps day after day it is so much fun to do!
Holding the cross in my hand to place in the well designed dividing rod with cap.

Cap on! beaming on comfortably from the table top. the ratcht and pawl on the threading holder holding the beam with a crank handle its amazing !
heddles and reed threaded right on the table a

All ready to weave my 14 yard 18" wide warp ! all wound and threaded away from the loom and finished durning the day light all in one day! Make an appoinment for a class at the studio, or email me questions..

TUBES YOU USE WITH THE CORDS FOR THIS SYSTEM
HOW YOU USE THE DIVIDING ROD WITH THE PICCOLO SIZE BEAM
using the cliping rod and then I taped the warp for saving to thread latter.
IF YOU HAVE A EARLIER MODEL PICCOLO
you can not fit the harnesses into the eariler verson to thread unless you have the wooden up grade arms installed.

hi. based upon the pictures, is the new method allowing a back-to-front dressing of the loom?
ReplyDeleteYes that is correct back to front dressing the loom ! I fall in love with it even more each time I wind a warp and beam on at the table top!😀 it is so easier and faster
DeleteLooking forward to the Kenzo warping / threading system arriving. Thanks, Jill! Diane
