| ============== Selvedge Tip ============== If your Weavers Delight is one that has the extensions on the back beam, here is a way to add weights to the selvedges, or any other warp thread for that matter. Begin your weaving as usual. When you notice the selvedges (or other warp threads) getting slack, go to the next step. Refer to the 1st picture. Insert a long dowel or piece of pipe through the openings in the two rear beam extensions. Run the pipe OVER the slack warp, and UNDER all the other warp threads. I used a piece of 3/4" pvc pipe. Refer to the 2nd & 3rd photo. Pull the slack warps back up and over the pipe and add enough weights to match the tension of the other warp threads. I use shower curtain hooks to attach weights. (Note: the black strip in the 3rd photo was added so the warp thread would show up better) Keep on weaving! |
