Definitely a good tip. My third project in class required about 400 ends so I did the count of heddles and ended up adding quite a lot some of the shafts. Its not an easy process but much easier to do BEFORE you start warping. 👍👍👍
I never knew that about jacks! The reason why it's called a jack! I have never really thought about the types. The looms just hold the warp and the treadles manipulate the warp. Thanks.
I am interested in how the looms work, you explain the Jack loom very well but didn’t show us the “Jack” ties, where do they lead? How does the shaft lift? Thank you 🙏🏻
@@jagodarebic4692 Hi! If you're interested in the real technicalities, I would suggest checking out a loom maker. Mine is from the Schacht Spindle Company, if that gives you a place to start!
Recently given a 72" LaClerc counter balance... A few things missing, like a guide 😢. Help! My Baby Wolf now fits her name, she's so small, sweet and easy. Good thing I'm curious. 😂 Good basic 'Jack' explaination.
My floor loom is a 36" Harrisville 4 treadle loom and is most like a jack loom, but rather than lamms and Jack's, it has cables and pulleys. Also, since it only has 4 treadles it does not have multiple tie-ups, just a 1 to 1 tie-up.
It always takes me a minute or two to transfer my thoughts from direct tie-up to multiple tie-up. Especially if I'm working on direct and switch to multiple. Then my brain says "Oh!"
