This handy tool holds your lease sticks at a convenient position for sleying the reed and beaming. Once the warp is wound on, the helping hands is moved to a position holding the lease sticks near the heddle eyes for threading.
The 22" Weaving Width Harrisville Looms come with dowels instead of lease sticks. We recommend normal lease sticks for use with the helping hands.
If you have your own lease sticks, they need to be a maximum of 1" width (the flat surface), 3/8" thick and a minimum of 22 1/2" long. The length can be longer as the sides of the bases are open.
It is recommended that you use a raddle secured to the top of the loom.
The optional tray from Harrisville Designs should be removed to attach the LoftyFiber raddle.
The products are wholesale purchased through Spinning and Weaving Support Company which produces all LoftyFiber Raddles, Helping Hands, etc. under license in Canada. The agreement with LoftyFiber is for production and distribution to Canada and Europe.
