I getting ready for my first ever draw loom warp, and have been viewing Becky Ashenden's video "Dress you Swedish Drawloom" - over and over. It's a GREAT video, by the way! I took her class in the spring.
Anyway, I have long eye heddles which I know go in front, but I just noticed that she is using what she calls "pattern heddles" for the shaft draw harness. I went to her web site and discovered that the pattern heddles she sells are 54 cm long. In the interest of not buying even more heddles than I've already got, why can't I just use regular heddles for the pattern heddles? I don't see why I can't just hang the lingos on the regular (11") heddles that I have already. The pattern shafts can be hung at what ever height I need, so I don't see the need for these pattern heddles. Or am I missing something?
