Please note: the very first 15" Table Looms had smaller shafts with shorter heddle bars. You will need to measure the heddle bars on your loom before ordering.
There is a cut fee for custom sizes.
How to Install
Remove the shaft from the loom: disconnect the lever cord on the shaft top, then lower the shaft out of the castle.
Lay the shaft flat on a working surface. Tie together any heddles on the shaft: run one long string through the tops of the heddles, then around to the bottoms of the heddles. Knot the string securely.
For 25" shafts, remove the heddle bar from the heddle bar hooks.
Flex the heddle bar(s) enough to remove one end from the slot in the side of the frame. Remove the other end from its slot in the frame.
If you're replacing both heddle bars in the shaft, repeat Steps 3 and 4 for the remaining heddle bar.
You can now replace one or both heddle bars in the shaft. Slide a new heddle bar through the tops of the heddles. Slide another heddle bar through the bottoms.
Replace the heddle bars in the shaft frame. Insert one end of each heddle bar in the slot in the frame. Flex the heddle bar and insert the other end into its slot. For 25" looms, divide the heddles approximately in half and push them to either end of the heddle bar. Snap the heddle bar back into the hook.
Reinstall the shaft in the castle. Reattach the lever cord.
