Card Weaving has been around since the eighth century BCE. Schacht Weaving Cards keep the warp threads in order and create the shed for weaving. The cards are turned to raise and lower the warp threads. The colors of the warp threads in the four holes, along with how the cards are turned, combine to create stunning patterns.
Schacht Cards: Schacht has developed a card that, at 3 ½” square, is comfortable in the hand. The holes are approximately 1 7/16" apart and the holes measure 3/8". Colored bands are printed on each side as a helpful aid in keeping track of the card’s position. Made of sturdy 24 point card stock, these cards will serve you well over many, many warps. Package of 25 cards.
