ADJUSTING THE SHED
PROCEED CAREFULLY, ADJUSTING YOUR CORDS ONE NOTCH AT A TIME AND TESTING.
ADJUSTING THE SHED BY ADJUSTING THE TIE-UP CORDS
■
If the upper shed (raised warps) is uneven:
Raise the threads by shortening the lower lamm cord of the errant shaft, by inserting the anchor peg one notch below
the red mark.
■
If the lower shed (sinking warps) needs to be adjusted:
Determine which shafts are errant and whether they need to be raised or lowered (that is, if shaft 2 is the only shaft that
is hanging above or below the other sinking warps, fix this one only). To adjust, either shorten or lengthen the tie-up
cord to the suspended (upper) lamm. To shorten the cord attach the anchor peg one notch below the black mark; to
lengthen, attach one notch above the black mark.
■
Lower lamm = rising shed = red mark on the cord (usually O in the tie-up)
Remember: bottoms up!
■
Upper lamm = sinking shed = black mark on the cord (the X in the tie-up)
ADJUSTING AN ENTIRE SHAFT
This adjustment will affect all the tie-ups for that shaft.
You can raise or lower an entire shaft by shortening or lengthening the upper lamm cords. Move one notch above or
below the green marks. Be sure to keep the shaft level.
FOR A LARGER SHED ON ALL SHAFTS
You can shorten the lower lamm cord. To shorten the lower lamm cord, insert the anchor peg one notch above the blue
mark.
