Early 2022, USPS began imposing surcharges on any packages 22" or longer ($4) and even more on packages 30" or longer ($15), so this is a good time to get additional lightweight, long, inexpensive items shipped at no additional cost - I will refund the shipping on additional items, since the surcharge is only imposed once per package and there is extra room in there for other items.
WEAVING SHUTTLES: (Sold Individually) - Beautifully finished to match Kromski products, they have beveled edges for comfort of hand and to glide effortlessly through your shed without snagging on yarn or thread. The smaller 16" shuttles can ship with affordable First Class Shipping. 24 and 32 inches ship by Priority Mail because of their length. You'll want your shuttles to be as long as your weaving width is, or a tad longer so you can push them into your shed, with their opposite end sticking out the other side, to pull through. Choose which items best fit your needs from drop down box at upper right and they'll ship right out.
PICK UP STICKS: (Sold individually) - The stick is used behind your heddle. One way to look at it is that with a pick-up stick you trick your loom into thinking it is something it is not; you temporarily change the way the warp interacts with the slots and holes on the heddle. The result is a stunning range of patterns. With the heddle in the down shed position, pick up the slot threads behind the heddle using the beveled end of the pick-up stick. One pattern, for example, requires every other one of these slot threads to be picked up – over, under, over, under… Once the stick is completely inserted, bring it forward to the heddle and put it on edge. You can see how this imparts a different, temporary shed opening. You'll want your pick up sticks to be as long as your weaving width is, or a tad longer so you can push them into your shed, with their opposite end sticking out the other side, enabling you to hold both ends without reaching into your shed.
