These are my weaving gigs. Crude as they are, they do work and hold the threads quite well. Made from stuff I had laying around in my "junk" drawers.

Now there is some ingenuity. Good job Chad. Out of curiosity how many layers of thread can it hold.

I am not sure of the layers of thread it will hold. The way I figure it would be more than you would want to deal with. The lighthouse weave was 5 layers and it had no problems with that. It will hold over 200 pattern threads if you want to get crazy and there are always longer springs.


I had every ten slots marked with a black marker. I think before I do another weave I will mark each 5 and alternate colors on the 5s and 10s. I did alot of thread counting.
