Why use Lofty Fiber Sliding Raddle Covers?
Spreading a warp requires precision and patience. Unfortunately, a small movement is often enough for several warp ends to jump out of the raddle, forcing you to stop and reposition them.
Lofty Fiber Sliding Raddle Covers keep the warp securely where it belongs, making the entire warping process smoother, faster and far less frustrating.
