Folks, I made a mistake in the above design. I missed a peg…
I realized this after showing @kyrithia the current progress at this weeks fibert arts working group. She had this perplexed look as she tried to figure out how to thread the loom. Said she would have to think about it. So that got me trying to figure it out as well.
In looking at the original, I realized that I made an incorrect assumption as to what the designer expected to be the heddle rod… And I missed one of the rods in the original design as well… The good news is that it is an easy fix to get the two that I have been working on to be consistent with the new design.
I am also including labels in the new design for the rods, which will make creating instruction material easier, in my opinion. I will engrave the ends of the rods on the existing models to have the same labels.
So here is the modified design:
So here is what I believe to be the ‘proper’ threading procedure.
Non-heddle, Tension - C - B - D - A - F - E - G - Tension
heddle, Tension - C - B - D - A - F - E - G - H - Heddle Loop - Tension
As a side note, in the original design, E was the heddle rod…
