More heddles than I thought
2025-08-22 09:51 am Turns out, after counting a bit more carefully, that my Victoria loom has 120 - 140 - 140 - 120 heddles on each shaft, not just 100 per shaft. This is most excellent. It seems to me it's set up for herringbone twill, which I love.
I might also be able to get some more heddles that fits this little beauty from a weaver friend. She was going to check her stash for what she might have. I should also measure the bag of tied heddles I picked up at the car boot sale along with the wool.
Next weekend, not this Saturday, but the week after, there's an event in Holmrike (our neighbouring shire) and the options I am considering is 1) bring the loom and dress it there or 2) bring the cape and work on that.
I think, possibly, I'll do the easier thing and bring the cape. Because there are plenty of tables I can set up to do some full-scale layout at a decent working height. Currently that project is stalled because I have the new loom on the table, and the table is at any rate a little too small to fit the entire cape laid flat.
