| Paper Catcher - as it unrolls from warp beam |
I inserted a dowel into holes that are above my treadle rod. As I wove and the paper started to unroll from the beamed warp, I started it around the dowel. This worked very well. Most of the time, the paper just rolled itself around the dowel with very little help from me. This is on a Toika Norjaana with a weaving width of about 34 1/2". On a wider loom, you could use a metal rod which comes in a longer length. This keeps the paper from unrolling all over the floor!
I like this idea even better now that I have beamed a new warp. The paper was still there rolled up from the last warp and I just grabbed the end of the paper and tucked it in as I started to beam the new warp! It unrolled as the beam turned!
