WEAVING: Small Tools
NEEDLES — The first two listed
below are steel, blunt, also called tapestry needles. The next is hardwood,
with a rectangular cross-section. The stole needle is blunt steel. The
rest of the needles are very sharp ones, in various lengths.
TRIMMER SHEAR — All steel, a handy thread clipper.
WARPING PADDLE — A small plastic hole-and-slot
(ten of each) reed set into a plastic handle.
LINEN TESTER MAGNIFIER — A calibrated magnifier.
For weaving, used to check sett (it has many other applications). Working
field is 1" x 1", 5X power.
SCHACHT ROPE MACHINE — Feed in strings or yarns—and
crank out rope. Use your left-over bits to make plied belts, handles,
mitten strings, materials for coiled baskets.
McMORRAN YARN BALANCE — A simple but effective
device, for determining the yardage per pound of a yarn. Cut a length,
hang it in the V of the balance arm. Trim it till the arm balances. Then
measure the final length and multiply by 100 to get the yardage. 5"
tall.
LECLERC FRINGE TWISTER — This handy little device
plies a fringed edge. Clamp several threads into each clip and crank till
the threads start to kink. Un-clamp ends and knot.
Tapestry combs and bobbins, reed and heddle hooks, have their own pages.
Go back to the "Weaving: Introduction" page to find them.
