The cross in weaving is used to keep the threads of your weaving project organized. In this video I show you how to transfer the cross from the front of the reed to the back of the reed to facilitate threading the heddles. This technique uses 3 lease sticks, but if you don’t have 3, you can use any thin item that is at least 1.5 times the width of your warp. With a little practice, transferring the cross can be accomplished quickly and easily, allowing you to keep your threads organized and your weaving projects on track.
