FAQs
Q: What are lease sticks used for?
A: Lease sticks hold the warp cross in place during threading and sleying, keeping yarns in order so you can maintain your intended sequence and tension.
Q: Are Glimåkra lease sticks compatible with non-Glimåkra looms?
A: Yes, these lease sticks fit most floor and table looms. Just choose a size that matches your weaving width.
Q: Which size lease sticks do I need?
A: Select sticks that are slightly wider than your warp width — for instance, 100 cm for a 90 cm weaving width.
Q: Are these lease sticks finished or unfinished?
A: They come finely sanded and lightly sealed for a smooth, snag-free surface.
Q: Can I buy just one stick?
A: Yes, lease sticks can be sold individually. Reach out to us for details on how to do this. However it is recommended to have two, as both are needed to preserve the warp cross during setup.
