Description

Group of six wooden shed sticks for weaving on a loom. Each stick has notches/grooves across the length of the stick. All are the same length, however the notches are different lengths and spread out at different intervals.

Use

May be used as shed sticks or stabilizing shed sticks. Shed sticks are used to stabilize the 'cross' in the warp threads, sometimes an additional stabilizing shed stick is used as well for more support.
