292 threads, alot of wood and nails later....

i have a raddle under my bed. it has caused a number of raised eyebrows from visitors and makes me realise why most weavers have studios. my raddle is a plank of wood with a number of evenly placed nails protruding from it. by employing some elastic bands, or in my case hair elastics, the wood can be neatly attached to the back bar of the loom ready for raddling the warp.

written in May 2008...published so it's not missed out, although it doesn't say a great deal! raddling means basically to spread the threads out and put them in order ready to put on the loom (known as dressing the loom)
