Fish Hooks On A Loom
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short 1939 article in which A. B. Gardner describes using modified fish hooks to simplify the treadle tie-up on a hand loom. He explains how to grind off the barbs, bend the hooks, and attach them between lamms and treadles with cords and snitch knots so tie-ups can be changed without lying under the loom. He reports using the method on an eight-harness, ten-treadle loom and lists two precautions. A photograph shows the under-side of a loom fitted with the hooks.
