Today, I'm being adventurous and exploring my jack loom! Wanna come? Let's go!
For every weaver, it is important to have at least a general idea of how your loom works. How does it separate the warp yarns, evenly smash the weft yarns, and forward the fabric? Those are good elements to know as you happily weave along.
So, I'm diving under my loom in order to point out exactly how my jack loom works (and as a bonus, I'll explain why it's called a "jack" loom). Please enjoy episode 151!

Based on your previous videos I converted and old orco 40" rug loom into a 4 shelf jack loom. Thank you for sharing more about the mechanics!

Definitely a good tip. My third project in class required about 400 ends so I did the count of heddles and ended up adding quite a lot some of the shafts. Its not an easy process but much easier to do BEFORE you start warping. 👍👍👍

Right? It only takes one awkward experience to understand the value of counting heddles!

I never knew that about jacks! The reason why it's called a jack! I have never really thought about the types. The looms just hold the warp and the treadles manipulate the warp. Thanks.

I have a Gilmore. The jacks are wooden and attached to chains so the have a kind of scissor like motion.

Recently given a 72" LaClerc counter balance... A few things missing, like a guide 😢. Help! My Baby Wolf now fits her name, she's so small, sweet and easy. Good thing I'm curious. 😂 Good basic 'Jack' explaination.

I am interested in how the looms work, you explain the Jack loom very well but didn’t show us the “Jack” ties, where do they lead? How does the shaft lift? Thank you 🙏🏻

@@jagodarebic4692 Hi! If you're interested in the real technicalities, I would suggest checking out a loom maker. Mine is from the Schacht Spindle Company, if that gives you a place to start!

My floor loom is a 36" Harrisville 4 treadle loom and is most like a jack loom, but rather than lamms and Jack's, it has cables and pulleys. Also, since it only has 4 treadles it does not have multiple tie-ups, just a 1 to 1 tie-up.

Nice! Direct tie-up looms are wonderful! I've always felt that using a direct tie-up is the best way to understand a pattern!

It always takes me a minute or two to transfer my thoughts from direct tie-up to multiple tie-up. Especially if I'm working on direct and switch to multiple. Then my brain says "Oh!"
