Weave as threaded, aiming to square the pattern. Weave in the ends as you go. Hem- stitch. Finishing: Hand wash in hot water with Dawn deter- gent. Rinse in cold water. Place in hot dr yer watching closely until almost dr y or until sufficiently fulled. Lay flat to finish dr ying. Steam press with moderately hot iron, pressing firmly on the cloth. This will flatten the yarn and bring out the sheen in the yarn. Trim fringe to about 4". We used a rotary cutter, a ruler, and a self-healing cut- ting mat. What We're Loving Now: The Wolf Pup and Wolf Pup LT For weavers on the go, nothing can beat the com- pact, lightweight, and friendly Wolf Pup and Wolf Pup LT. The Wolf Pup is a direct tie-up loom which means that there are four treadles, each tied directly to a shaft. That is, treadle 1 is tied to shaft 1, treadle 2 is tied to shaft 2, and so on. To lift two shafts, two treadles must be pressed. Because the Wolf Pup LT has jacks and lamms, it is possible to tie up more than one shaft to a treadle. For example, you can tie shafts 1, 2, and 3 to treadle one and lift all three shafts by pressing on just one treadle. No matter which Pup you choose, both mod- els feature: 18" weaving width, 4 shafts, folding x-frame, attached wheels, treadle tracker, friction brake with release pedal, and sturdy barrel nut con- struction. The Wolf Pup and Wolf Pup LT are both easy to take to workshops, outdoors, or next door. Ask for either loom at your favorite Schacht dealer. Happy Weaving!
