Second Heddle Kit, Ashford Rigid Heddle Looms – PLEASE READ
IMPORTANT: INCLUDED already with Ashford Rigid Heddle Looms made since 2018.
A dandy kit that greatly increases the weaving possibilities on your Rigid Heddle Loom! Works with all sizes of looms.
For Multi heddle weaving. This kit includes two support blocks for reed and hardware, easy to attach since your Rigid Heddle Loom has predrilled holes.
Use this kit to double your ends per inch. You will need another reed identical to the one you have. For example, two 12.5 DPI reeds will give you 25 ends per inch! When you feel comfortable weaving with two heddles, you can enjoy experimenting with patterns. Instructions for weaving with the two heddles and patterns are included.

Shetland – Black, Fine (Top)
Classification: DOWN-TYPE WOOL
Very clean combed top with next to no veg. The colour is a gorgeous and very dark brown-black with the odd grey hair sprinkled in, and it has a lovely and soft handle. This is a very old breed used in everything from traditional Shetland lace to rugged tweed fabrics and midrange to rugged outerwear knitted garments. It technically has a double coat but they are nearly always carded together.
Micron count on the fine hairs varies from 12 to 20 microns but is difficult to assign in a blend. Staple length is in the 2 to 4.5 inch range. Felting properties are moderate.

Silk Hankies, Natural
100% cultivated (aka Bombyx or Mulberry) silk.
Much like silk caps, hankies contain many layers of tissue-thin silk that are stretched out and stacked together into square shapes, but flat rather than dome-shaped. This makes them easier to deal with than caps when hand-painting with dye. You can use either acid or fibre reactive dyes, or even natural dyes.
Spinners take the individual layers apart, poke a hole in the centre and then draft them out as thick or as thin as they need for their particular yarn. Felters find these interesting to use for embellishment on nuno-felted, wet-felted and needle-felted projects.
