Mr Saganishiki had quite a time getting my loom and warp back in proper working order.
I was weaving way to tight and the warp was getting smaller and smaller.
By using the koyori, he was able to spread the warp out.




It took a few koyori to get everything well spaced.
Making the koyori is a skill that takes much practice. It is simply using a strip of paper and rolling it tight. Easier said than done!





There are many ways to make heddles but I like this one.
The heddle that comes with the loom from Echizenya is metal with paper warp holders. The soboko I got from Tokyo is nice and easy to use but is expensive and cannot be used for pattern heddles.


Materials are prepared to make the heddle.




Heddle done.
Ready to weave!
