If a ratchet dog will not rotate easily, loosen the screw that attaches it with a 7/16" (or
adjustable) wrench and a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Hold the lock nut inside the loom
with the wrench, then loosen the screw slightly with the screwdriver.
ADVANCING THE WARP
Turn the warp beam ratchet dog toward
you to release tension on the warp, then
flip up the ratchet dog. Turn the cloth
beam handle toward you to wind fabric
onto this beam. Stop when the woven
edge of the cloth is 2" to 3" above the
bottom beam. Push the ratchet dog back
down on the ratchet gear. Tighten the
warp by turning the warp beam handle
away from you.
REMOVING YOUR PROJECT FROM
THE LOOM
When you have finished your project or
can’t weave any farther, weave a few rows
with waste yarn. Cut the warp off from the
loom. Unwind the fabric from around the
cloth beam and untie or cut off the warp
from the front apron bar. Be careful not to
cut the apron cords.
