New Tie-Up Chains on the Loom


Soon after I acquired my Kessenich Floor Loom, some of the tie-ups for the treadles gave way -- rusty clips, and tired rope.




We replaced them with a heavier and sturdier window sash chain and ...


... these S-Biner clips.

All together now ... new clips and new sash chain.
Should be good for another 100 years!

Where did you find your sash chain? I am having trouble locating anything strong enough to withstand the tension

The local hardware store had sash chain. It would be in the section for windows and maintenance thereof. You can buy as much as need -- by the foot.
