Learning To warp and thread a Saori floor loom class

The New Saori Kenzo table top beaming on and threading system verses the beaming on and threading right on the loom it's self is truely amazing brilliantly designed piece of equipment ! no more back strain leaning over the loom bending down

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…

NOW YOU CAN DO IT ON A TABLE TOP

winding a warp on the free standing Saori warping frames is easy

Here is Vicki and Jen learning for the first time

SAORI WARPING FRAMES HERE

rolling the warp threads onto a roller is called beaming on

easy!

after the warp is beamed on there is the THREADING

again comfortably done right on the table top

add the harnesses and the reed that fit into the kenzo system threading holder and thread for the table top

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
