THREADING, SLEYING, AND TYING ON
The important thing in threading is your comfort. Take the time to position
everything so that your body feels at ease while threading.
Threading the
Harnesses
Now we’re ready to thread the loom. If you are right handed, it is recommended to start at the right side of the warp. Grasp one group of ends in
your left hand and your sley hook in your right hand. Direct the “hook
end” of the sley hook through the “eye” of the first heddle you need to
thread. Pull the thread through (for example, if you had a straight draft on
eight harnesses, your first thread would go through the eye of a heddle on
the 8th harness. The second thread would be threaded through the eye of
the heddle on the 7th harness, the third thread through the 6th harness, and
so on).
