This is a weaver's jig for cutting specific lengths of yarn and thread. To fully assemble the jig, you will need a long piece of 1x3" wood board and a short length of 1/2" dowel. There are three main pieces to the jig: the end bracket, which sits at the end of the board and holds the dowel; the adjustable bracket, which is meant to move along the length of the board as you need it and has a groove for securing and cutting the yarn; and the securing rods, which hold each bracket in place. There is also an optional foot piece that you can print to help stabilize your jig when placed on a table or some other surface.
To complete the jig, you'll need to print and purchase the following items:
6-8' length of 1x2" board (exact dimensions: 0.75" x 2.5" x 6' (or 8' if you need longer)
Bracket End Piece
Adjustable Bracket Piece
2x Securing Rods
4x Cotter Pins (1/16" x 3/4"; can be found at Home Depot or any other home improvement store)
2x Stabilizing Feet (optional)
How much the jig can be adjusted is up to you and your needs. For the jig I made for my wife, I drilled two 1/2" holes every 1/2 foot from two feet from the end to four feet from the end. This allows my wife to cut 4', 5', 6' 7', and 8' lengths of yarn for her projects. You can place the brackets on the board and use the holes as drilling guides. Just make sure to measure from the dowel to the outside of the adjustable bracket where the cutting groove is. This ensures you'll be able to cut the correct length of yarn.
NOTE: There is a small notch at the base of the cutter's bracket where you can secure the end of your yarn. You can also secure the yarn by tying it around the dowel, but you will end up wasting more of your yarn if you do it that way.
