Hello all
I am wondering what the maximum warp length is for my Jane loom. Presumably it depends on the thickness of the yarn to some extent, but say for 8/2 cotton, or same sort of thickness in a woollen yarn? All information welcome. I just want to avoid trying to wind on a long warp and running out of room. Thanks.
I don’t have a Jane Loom but I did a search and found this answer from Dave “Mr. Louet NA” ;-) -
If your warp is fine like 2/8 cotton you could put on a 8-10 yd. warp. If it is heavier like 4 ply wool, I think you could get on a 6-7 yd. warp easily. That is using regular brown paper (not corrugated cardboard). If you have purchased the stand you can take the cloth beam and the warp beam out of the table loom and insert them into the stand which allows you put to on any length of warp up to 20 yds. (approx).
Thanks very much for that very useful information Sandra. Exactly what I was looking for! I do have the Jane loom stand so that information about inserting the cloth beam and warp beam into the stand sounds very interesting. Must take a look at how to do that. Thanks again.
