So, the right column tells us which heddle to lift?

[rigidheddleweaving]

@violinistx100 Yes, that would be the case (as long as you're using a draft made for "LIFT PLAN"). If not, you want the draft for "TREADLING" (which would be for floor looms where we press a pedal in order to lift the heddle shafts).

I just got a floor loom a couple days ago.... this video is EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

SO FRICKEN COOL.

Thanks! Please be sure to stop by the main web site and review the videos there too. I have a couple on how I warp back to front which may help you when it comes time to do the heddles.

Hi!

I'm Susy from Italy. I (stil) don't have a weaving loom and I (stil) can't weave... but your video is simply great! Thank you for sharing, I hope to get my weaving loom very soon, you already helped me before to start. Bye :)
