Raddle — 12", 18" & 24" Wide

A raddle built for weavers who want their warp under control — every step of the way.

The Raddle is one of those tools that quietly makes everything else easier. It keeps your warp ends separated, counted, and under control at every stage of the warping process — so you can focus on the weaving, not the untangling. Pair it with a handmade warping board to wind smooth, consistent warps before beaming, and Studio Hooks to secure it firmly to your loom.

Available in three sizes — 12", 18", and 24" — to suit a wide range of loom widths and project types. Whether you're working on a narrow rigid heddle project or a wide floor loom warp, there's a size that fits your work.

Built with the same attention to craft as every tool that leaves my bench, it's designed to be a working part of your studio — not a drawer accessory.

Key Features:

• ✓ Nails spaced 1" on center with ½" between rows — separate any number of warp ends you choose for precise, manageable groupings
• ✓ Walnut locking dowel, 3/8", wedges tighter between the rows of nails as you pull it upward — stays put even if bumped or knocked
• ✓ Rubber bands included as a secondary warp end retention method for added peace of mind
• ✓ Two ¼" holes on the ends for securing to your loom's front or back beam using Studio Hooks or a C-clamp
• ✓ Available in 12", 18" & 24" sizes
• ✓ Every corner finished with a 45° chamfer for a smooth, refined feel in hand
• ✓ Made from premium hardwood with the same exacting standards as every tool that leaves my bench
• ✓ Proudly handcrafted in America

Keep Your Warp Ends Where You Put Them

Anyone who has walked away from a half-warped loom — only to return to a tangle of yarn courtesy of a curious cat, a wandering child, or just gravity — knows exactly why a raddle matters. The nails separate your warp ends into whatever groupings make sense for your project. The walnut dowel drops in across the top and, as you pull it upward, it wedges itself tighter between the rows of nails. It doesn't rattle loose. It doesn't get bumped off. Your warp stays exactly where you left it.

How to Use:

Secure the raddle to your loom's front or back beam or the edge of a table using Studio Hooks through the ¼" holes on the ends, or a C-clamp. You can also use it freestanding — if you're warping a smaller loom on a table, simply having the raddle there to keep your warp ends separated and under control is a real benefit on its own.

Distribute your warp ends between the nails in whatever groupings suit your project — the 1" nail spacing gives you flexibility to separate any number of ends you choose. Once your ends are in place, slide the walnut dowel across the top and pull it upward between the rows of nails until it locks firmly in position. Add rubber bands for extra security if needed. Your warp ends are now separated, counted, and ready for the next step.
