Tensioning Device For Warping 22" - 50"

Product Details:

Especially useful for weavers who warp alone.  It allows for the option of putting on more or less drag depending on the type of warp and the requirements.  If you want perfect warp tension every time, this is the tool for you. "The greatest invention since the mute button." The tensioning device consists of: 4 wooden bars, 2 wooden holders, 2 clamps, & instructions on how to use it.

The tensioning device is helpful in maintaining an even tension especially when you are warping by yourself.  It can be mounted on the front beam when warping back-to-front, though you'll need to get your beater out of the way (the raddle will then be on the back beam); many weavers find a little extra tension especially helpful in that situation.  It can also be mounted on the back beam when warping front-to-back.

The Sizes above are weaving widths.  The actual width is approx. 4.5" more than the weaving width.  If you are not sure about the size, order a little larger and cut the wooden dowels to fit.

The "-SCH" models are specifically made for Schacht looms or other looms with a slanted back beam.

Note: The Tensioning Device is designed for weavers who prefer to warp from front to back.
