Lease sticks play a crucial role in keeping warp threads organized and tangle-free. Designed for back-to-front warping, these smooth wooden sticks maintain the warp cross, ensuring consistent tension, easier threading, and a smoother weaving experience. Sold as a pair of two.
Why Use Lease Sticks?
- Maintain warp order – Prevent tangles and keep warp threads in the correct sequence.
- Easier threading – Holds the cross for quick, hassle-free heddle threading.
- Improve tension control – Helps detect twists or knots before they affect your weaving.
- Versatile weaving tool – Useful for both front-to-back and back-to-front warping techniques.
Key Features
- Smooth and durable – Made of pine wood with tapered edges for easy handling.
- Pre-drilled holes – Secure the sticks together with string or ring clips.
- Multiple sizes – Available in 27", 47", and 63" to fit various loom widths.
- Compatible with Glimakra looms – Works with Standard, Julia Floor, and Susanna Rigid Heddle Looms.
How to Use
- Insert lease sticks – After creating a warp cross, slide the lease sticks through and secure with string or ring clips.
- Secure and adjust – Tie loosely to allow smooth warp movement while keeping threads in order.
- Use during threading – Position them for easy access when threading heddles.
- Leave in place while beaming – Some weavers keep them in during warp winding to ensure even tension.
Tip: For front-to-back warping, lease sticks can separate different fiber types, preventing them from mingling.
What’s the Difference Between Lease Sticks & Warping Sticks?
- Lease sticks – Secure the warp cross for threading and tension control.
- Warping sticks – Separate layers of warp on the warp beam to prevent uneven tension.
Glimakra Lease Sticks help keep your warp organized, making every step of the weaving process easier and more efficient.
