The Best Weaving Tool Ever

And – it doubles as a warping board. I bought dowels that will fit in the waves of the front of the shelving and cut them to the length I wanted. When I want to wind off a warp – I space the dowels where I need them.   

Notice the narrow shelf that holds the dowels and reeds and leasing sticks.

The use of dowels (or knitting needles) with the shelves are limitless. You can poke them in the side of the shelf and hang yarn, bags, etc. I asked before I took all those IKEA paper tape measures. Oh – and hair clips for when you need to get down and dirty with the loom.  And – notice the magnetic clip? These are great for weighting errant warp threads or holding instructions or notes. 

 

 

I poked some dowels in the front and hung my warping board on it.   and - notice the pre-measured warps hanging on the left side?

And – if you want to try out color combinations, you can use the dowels for that!

 

I am sure there are many more uses than I have thought of. I would love to hear other’s ideas.
