Sleying the reed with a buddy

Set the reed on top of the shafts so that it rests on the shaft supports. One person sits inside of the loom and places the warp threads onto the sley hook. The person behind the loom stuffs the hook into the next dent and pulls the warp threads through. If the person handing threads holds a whole group of threads under tension and angled down a bit it can be easy to see which threads come next. It is especially nice to use this two-person method for projects with a lot of shafts.
