د.إ56.56
Ensure a flawless warp every time with the Ashford 30cm (12″) Cross/Warp Sticks, specifically sized for the Katie Table Loom. These Lacquered Silver Beech sticks feature pre-drilled holes at each end, allowing you to securely tie your cross and maintain perfect thread order while dressing your loom. Smooth, durable, and precision-cut, they are the secret to eliminating ‘crossed threads’ and achieving professional-level tension on your portable 8-shaft loom.
The Guardian of Your Warp
In 2026, the most critical stage of weaving remains “dressing the loom.” If you lose the order of your threads between the warping board and the beam, your project can quickly become a struggle. These Cross Sticks (also known as Lease Sticks) act as a permanent placeholder for your warp’s “handshake.” By sliding them into the cross you made while winding, you ensure that every one of your 8-shaft threads stays in its designated lane.
Designed Specifically for the Katie
While standard sticks can be bulky, these are precision-sized for the 30cm (12″) Katie Loom. Their slim profile allows them to sit comfortably behind the shafts without interfering with the loom’s mechanics. The factory-lacquered finish is vital; it ensures that even the stickiest wools or the most delicate silks slide over the wood without a single snag.
The Benefit of Pre-Drilled Holes
Small details make a big difference in the studio. The holes at either end of these sticks allow you to tie them together. This “locks” the cross in place, so even if you drop the sticks or need to transport your Katie loom mid-warp, your thread order remains exactly where you left it. It’s an insurance policy for your weaving time.
