58.54 د.إ
Maintain a perfect thread sequence with the Ashford 40cm (16″) Cross/Warp Sticks. Precision-crafted from Lacquered New Zealand Silver Beech, these sticks feature pre-drilled holes at each end for secure tying, ensuring your warp ‘cross’ remains locked in place during the dressing process. Designed to fit all 16-inch Ashford Table Looms, they are the essential tool for eliminating crossed threads and achieving consistent, professional-grade tension.
The Guardian of the Cross
In 2026, as multi-shaft weaving grows in popularity, the “cross” remains the most sacred part of a weaver’s setup. If you lose the order of your threads while moving from the warping board to your Brooklyn or 40cm Table Loom, the result is crossed ends and uneven tension. These sticks (Lease Sticks) preserve that order perfectly. By securing them through the lease, you ensure every thread stays exactly where it belongs as it travels through the heddles and the reed.
Smoothness by Design
When working with fine silks, high-twist wools, or delicate mohair, the surface of your tools matters. These sticks are factory-lacquered to a glass-smooth finish. This prevents the microscopic “scales” of animal fibers from catching on the wood, allowing your warp to slide effortlessly over the sticks during the winding-on process.
The Convenience of the Pre-Drilled Hole
Expert weavers know that loose sticks are a recipe for disaster. The holes at either end of these Ashford sticks allow you to lash them together with a simple cord. This creates a secure “frame” for your cross, meaning you can stop mid-warp, transport your loom, or even pass the sticks through the loom frame without the threads sliding out or the sticks falling to the floor.
