 wool banner 


threading  a wool warp on my harnesses and reed away from the loom comfortably on the table! click here for  kenzo saori table top threading holder and beaming system






 i only wanted to weave one banner on this warp and save the rest , so i took  it off with  my saori  inside  set  and put on a new warp
only takes 10 minutes you do not have to unthread anything! just one  of many reasons  i love my Saori looms.
