The Market Stall

Here you find tools and supplies for historical textile techniques. You can either buy the things you see here on one of the markets I frequent or, should you live too far away, e-mail me with your item list for order or with your requests. All prices are given in Euro; prices do not include shipping. I will inform you about the shipping costs for your order before finalising it, so if shipping is too expensive for you, everything can still be called off. In addition to the short description and picture, you can always get more information about the pieces - "all the gory details". If you need something to procrastinate, you can also find additional pictures and ramblings on my blog.

A pair of rods, small and simple but really nifty little helper for tablet weaving. Inserted into the warp threads behind the tablets, much like the rods in a loom, they help keeping the single cords apart and at the desired width - one of the three possibilities to control width of the ware.
