Need Perfect tension on your Rigid Heddle Loom? this is for you 

I always seem to need at least five hands. Am absolutely gonna try this.

A tip I read was to use rubber matting used for shelve liner instead of paper. It is suppose to grip better. I haven used it yet as I am just now getting into watching these videos for help in using the one I got in high school back in 1976. I guess it’s an antique now 😅

I like this tension method the most for a RHL. It only uses the same space the loom does, meaning I don't have to worry about limited space around me. I'll definitely be using this method from now on. Thank you very much for sharing! ❤

Absolutely genius, thank you 😊. Going to Bunnings tomorrow!

I've just warped my RHL using my new warping board and the warping sticks. So so much easier and I don't have to take over the dining table. ❤

Doing this right now! Thank you!🥰

Very clear instructions, thank you!

Oh, this is really a wonderful solution! Thank you for showing us!

Oh my! Love this thank you!

Nice work, well explained 😊

Hmmmmm.....I like DIY projects and I need help tensioning the warp on my RHL. I'll try this tomorrow! Thanks for taking the time to post your findings.

I do this on my eight shaft.

Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi Steph. Can I ask what size (diameter) dowel you used? Thanks.

Do the dowels turn (roll) as you roll the warp? Or do the rubber bands hold them tighter than that? Thanks!
