Why use a centering tape?
Proper warp centering is an important part of loom setup.
This tape allows you to immediately locate the center point and measure equally on both sides from zero.
- fewer calculations
- reduced risk of errors
- faster warp setup
- smoother workflow
- consistent results from project to project
How does it work?
The center mark of the tape is positioned at the middle of the beater, shuttle race or any location you use as a reference point.
The measurements then increase equally to the left and right from the center.
This makes it much easier to center your warp or reed accurately.
