The
goal of all warping techniques is to help you get your
warp threads measured as evenly and easily as possible.
Since there are several methods for warping, Schacht has
developed a broad range of tools and equipment for a variety
of warping techniques. All of their warping tools are
made of hard maple, smoothly sanded and given a Danish
oil finish. |

| Warping
Boards are the most
commonly used measuring devices. Schacht
warping boards are available in two sizes: the 14 yard warping
board is one yard across and the 4 1/2 yard warping board
measures a half yard across. To withstand the strain of
threads under tension, Schacht
tenons their hardwood dowels and presses them securely into
the frame. |

Warping
Paddles can
save you time when measuring many warp threads. The Schacht
paddle makes it possible to measure up to 20 threads at
a time. The slot-and-eye design alleviates the need to
hand pick the cross. The square handle makes it easy to
clamp the warping paddle to a shelf or table. |
Warping
Pegs are the simplest and
most portable warp-measuring tools. They clamp to a
table or counter; the single peg placed at one end of
the warp length and the pair of pegs placed at the other
end, spread as far apart as the warp is long. Use with
your own "C" clamps.

Warping
Mills are
ideal for long warps. Instead of going back and forth
with your arm to measure threads like on a warping board,
the warping mill goes around and around which is quicker
and less tiring. Schacht warping mills come in two models:
the vertical warping mill sits on a table, and the horizontal
warping mill which may be used either on a table or
on the floor. Both mills have a two yard circumference,
will hold up to 18 yards of warp, and can be folded
up for storage.

Spool
Rack
The Schacht spool rack is essential for sectional warping.
It will hold up to forty 4" spools and has a center
post that pivots for easy loading and unloading. The
center post locks into place during use. Even though
the spool rack is generally used for sectional warping.
It can be indispensable for other studio tasks as well:
holding standard yarn tubes and bobbins or as a place
to clamp a swift or ball winder. The spools are made
of cardboard and measure 4" wide with 3" flanges.

Auto
Reed Hook
The Auto Reed Hook is a sley hook that advances automatically
across the reed, moving from one dent to the next without
being removed and reinserted.
 |
Reed
Hook
The brass S-shaped reed hook is designed to
fit comfortably in your hand. The large hook
makes the sleying of various size
yarns easy.
Heddle
Hooks are
available in two blade lengths -- 4 1/2"
and 7 1/2"
|
|
Yardage
Counters are useful tools for
those who warp sectionally. As opposed to most counters
which read in feet, the Schacht records yards (you can
also request a meter counter). The counter will record
up to 9999 yards and comes complete with a clamp.
|
Tension
Box
The Schacht Tension Box features a mounting bracket
that adjusts to fit all Schacht looms: Wolf, Standard,
or Cranbrook. It should be compatible with floor looms
other than Schacht, as well. Features include: two-sided
sturdy construction with a reed at the back, an adjustable
tension knob, a heddle to make the cross, and a swiveling
reed at the front to adjust the feeding width of the
warp.
|
Sectional
Warp Beams are
available for the: Wolf looms, Standard floor looms,
and Cranbrook looms. The sectional beams are easily
assembled and can be installed on the existing warp
beam of your Schacht loom at any time. Sectional beams
for Standard floor looms have 2" sections and a
one half yard circumference; Baby Wolf and Mighty Wolf
sectional beams have 2" sections and a one foot
circumference. They are available in maple or cherry
with maple pegs.
|
Raddles
help
keep a warp spread evenly as it is wound onto the warp
beam. Schacht raddles have built-in clamps and can be
attached to either the loom's back beam or the shuttle
race of the beater. The raddles come with plated pins
inserted every inch and with holes drilled every half
inch with enough extra pins included should you prefer
half-inch spacing. The Wolf Pup, Baby Wolf and Mighty
Wolf Raddles come with special mounting brackets for
the Wolf loom diagonal beams, as well as clamps for
square beams or shuttle races.
