Hello fellow Double Harness weavers!
I have a Myrehead drawloom attachment. I am using the shaft drawloom. I have warped and adjusted my loom. For at least the last year I have been living with an annoyance. Several of the draw pulleys (not all) will not stay pulled. I pull them start weaving and they pop out and drop the shaft. I believe this is due to some of the pull cords being too wide. However if you have other suggestions for troubleshooting this issue, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you,

Draw Pulls slipping out
HI Erica....can you provide a photo of your set up and perhaps a close up of the draw pull cords and the slots the errant pulls fit into?
Try lengthening the cord at
Try lengthening the cord at the pattern shaft holder to see if that helps.
Thanks, JoAnne I've actually
Thanks, JoAnne I've actually had to shorten the cords, which has fixed the issue with most of the cords, but not these last few. I will lengthen these again just in case though!
Photo of Pulls that give me issues
Here is a photo of the pulls that are giving me the most trouble. They look very crowded to me and it seems they clash with each other when pulled, which is why I think the issue is the width of the pulls themselves. I would happily be wrong! :) Thank you for your help!
