Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I measure Texsolv heddles?

To measure the Texsolv heddle length on a loom, measure the distance from the top of the upper heddle carrying bar to the bottom of the lower heddle carrying bar. Add twice the thickness of the bars.

To measure a Texsolv heddle free of constraint, lay the heddle on a table and measure the length from knot to knot. Ignore the end loops.

Do not try to measure heddle length while heddles are bundled.

For accurate measuring, stretch the measured heddle between two pins stuck into a piece of styrofoam.

2. What weavers' conventions do you attend?

We attend almost all conventions of the Handweavers, Spinners and Dyers of Alberta and the Association of Northwest Weavers Guilds, and we attend Convergence when it is held in the Pacific Northwest.

3. Where are dealers stocking Woolhouse Tools?

There are none. We sell directly only.

4. Do you sell wholesale?

We wholesale only Texsolv items only to bona fide businesses, and only in Canada.

5. Do you do custom work?

No, we don't. We sell only what we list in our website - and that keeps us sufficiently busy!

6. Do you offer discounts for volume sales?

Yes. For a loom order of from three to ten looms plus accessories placed at the same time and paid for together by cheque or money order (not credit card), we offer a 6% discount.
