Five warp threads. One pickup. Less fiddling!
If you've ever tried weaving leno patterns on a rigid heddle loom, you'll know that picking up and crossing individual warp threads can be a rather fiddly process. Especially when working across wider warps, where manipulating a long pickup stick becomes increasingly awkward.
I designed this little 3D-printed tool to make that process easier.
The Leno Pickup Comb has five evenly spaced hooks that allow you to catch and lift five lower warp threads simultaneously, crossing them over the upper threads before transferring them onto a pickup stick.
Rather than reaching further and further across the warp, you work in small, manageable sections.
Features
Five hooks for picking up multiple warp threads in one movement
Designed for a 30/10 reed (7.5 dpi)
Flat, tapered fingers for easier positioning and transfer onto a pickup stick
Compact, lightweight design
Intended to reduce repetitive finger movements, awkward reaching and the force needed to manipulate a long pickup stick
Tested on
An Ashford SampleIt rigid heddle loom, using an Ashford 30/10 reed and fine cotton yarn.
Compatibility with other reed sizes, yarns and loom brands has not yet been tested.
How to use
A pickup stick is still required. The comb helps you select, cross and lift the warp threads; the pickup stick holds them in position.
I've included an illustrated PDF guide with step-by-step instructions and photographs showing the process.
Tip: Print in a bright, contrasting colour! My first prototype was black, but red turned out to be much easier to see between the warp threads.
A little background
I developed this tool because I wanted to experiment with leno weaving on wider rigid heddle looms, without having to manipulate individual threads across the entire weaving width.
It's a working prototype, developed through practical testing at the loom. There's still a bit of a learning curve when coordinating the comb and pickup stick, but the principle works!
If you print and try it, I'd love to hear how it works for you, particularly with different yarns or looms.
Happy weaving!
