Handy to have.
"These work great with floating selvedge. They are easy to set up and very versatile."
Works great!
"The perfect tool to keep in the loom kit. The adjustable weights keep my warp balanced across my floating selvedges. When warp threads become out of tension, these have helped keep my project under correct tension to keep going. Will always keep 3-4 of these ready to go for any project. Highly recommend!"
Excellent to keep around for
"Excellent to keep around for when a warp thread comes loose. You can vary the amount of washers to adjust the tension by increasing or decreasing the weight."
Very cool invention
"These weights are brilliant. Love the ease of use and seems to have the exact weight to perfectly tension all my loose threads. Wish I had bought four…next time!"
These weights were so handy
"These weights were so handy with my latest weaving project on my rigid heddle loom, which were twill towels done in 6/2 cotton. They are easy to attach to one or more warp threads and were really a life saver and helped me finish a project, especially towards the end when so many threads seem to go slack at once! The weight is easy to adjust, although I have only used either no weights or just one. I love these!"
Yeah, I know you can
"Yeah, I know you can make your own from film canisters and empty yarn cones or whatever. But there's something to be said for ""the right tool for the job. "" That's what these are for sure."
Just great. Have 6 and
"Just great. Have 6 and use them all the time. At least 2 for selvege and then for up to 6 for various mistakes"
Haven’t use these yet, but
"Haven’t use these yet, but good construction"
Weaving accessories essential
"Love these weights! They have saved my weaving. Even with careful warping, loose threads happen. Broken threads happen. These weight are terrific. I mainly use to tension my selvage threads and keep two in reserve for accidents. Expensive but worth it."
