Warping Tools
The goal of all warping techniques is to help
you get your warp threads measured as evenly and easily as possible. Since there are
several methods for warping, we've developed a broad range of tools and equipment for a
variety of warping techniques. All of our warping tools are made of hard maple,
smoothly sanded and given a Danish oil finish.
Our warping tools
include:
Heddle Hooks are
available in two blade lengths -- 4 1/2" and 7 1/2"
Reed Hook
Our brass S-shaped reed hook is designed to fit comfortably in your hand. The
large hook makes the sleying of various size yarns easy.
Warping Paddles
can save you time when measuring many warp
threads. Our paddle makes it possible to measure up to 20 threads at a time.
The slot-and-eye design alleviates the need to hand pick the cross. The square
handle makes it easy to clamp our warping paddle to a shelf or table.

Warping Pegs
Warping Pegs are the simplest and most portable
warp-measuring tools. They clamp to a table or counter; the single peg placed at one
end of the warp length and the pair of pegs placed at the other end, spread as far apart
as the warp is long. Use with your own "C" clamps.

Warping Boards
Warping Boards are the most commonly used measuring devices. Our warping
boards are available in two sizes: the 14 yard warping board is one yard across and
the 4 1/2 yard warping board measures a half yard across. To withstand the strain of
threads under tension, we tenon our hardwood dowels and press them securely into the
frame.

Warping
Mills
are ideal for long warps. Instead of going back and forth with your arm to
measure threads like on a warping board, the warping mill goes around and around which is
quicker and less tiring. Our warping mills come in two models: the vertical warping
mill sits on a table, and our horizontal warping mill which may be used either on a table
or on the floor. Both mills have a two yard circumference, will hold up to 18 yards
of warp, and can be folded up for storage.

Spool
Rack
Our spool rack is essential for sectional
warping. Ours will hold up to forty 4" spools and has a center post that pivots
for easy loading and unloading. The center post locks into place during use.
Even though the spool rack is generally used for sectional warping. It can be
indispensable for other studio tasks as well: holding standard yarn tubes and bobbins or
as a place to clamp a swift or ball winder. Our spools are made of cardboard and
measure 4" wide with 3" flanges.

Yardage
Counters
are useful tools for those who warp sectionally. As opposed to most counters
which read in feet, ours records yards (you can also request a meter counter). The
counter will record up to 9999 yards and comes complete with a clamp.
Raddles
help keep a warp spread evenly as it is wound onto the warp beam. Ours have
built-in clamps and can be attached to either the loom's back beam or the shuttle race of
the beater. The raddles come with plated pins inserted every inch and with holes
drilled every half inch with enough extra pins included should you prefer half-inch
spacing. Our Wolf Pup, Baby Wolf and Mighty Wolf Raddles come with special
mounting brackets for the Wolf loom diagonal beams, as well as clamps for square beams or
shuttle races.
