I'm a new member who's been weaving less than a year, on a Herald 4H 6T loom I was given last year.  Because these looms are discontinued and can be quirky, I started a Herald owners group so we can talk about them - if there has already been such a group I will delete it, but I didn't see one....

New Owner of a Herald Loom

I just finished putting my 4H6T Herald loom together this week. It was a giveaway to me and I'm very happy to get this loom. I'm waiting for a new stainless reed to arrive so that I can start weaving and see if there are any quirks with the loom. I'm going to try to use the heddles that came with the loom but I already replaced the treadle wires with texsolv cords and am keeping my fingers crossed. It will be nice to have a place to ask questions from other owners of Herald looms.  Thanks for starting the group.

Herald loom

I have a 8 harness Herald loom. I have had it almost 2 years and have woven lots of stuff on it.

I replaced the wires with fishing cord but would love to see photos of Texsolve cords for tying up.

My loom also is a bit splayed at the top of the castle. Right now i have a band clamp on it to prevent the front harness from coming out of the track. Would love to see other solutions for this problem. other
