 this new system  on the table top you can  stand or sit…. at a  table  top  above

verses the old way on the loom  bent over to beam , get up walk to the front  come back beam on repeat  back and forth   bending over BUT NOT MORE BENDING OVER 
 see photos below  of the old way…

  saori inside sets… Vicki and Jen both bought a inside set this way they could change out there weaving in less than 10 minutes with out rethreading there loom! A Saori LOOM exclusive  feature. SAORI INSIDE SETS HERE they also could have brought there harnesses and reed tying rods and cords and cardboard pipe from home but there looms had long warps threading already with in process weaving  on them  and they did not want to unthread them . it is basically like having two looms in one!

  now tie it up  easily and take your threaded warp  over to the loom to hang by tying  it up
