of hacks and trade offs



found this in the kitchen section at ikea and thought it would work for something i saw at a weaving studio in kyoto.theirs is wood, beautifully handmade  with vertical rods . this is mass produced and metal. however, it holds the bobbins well enough. a lot more efficient than having them rolling around on the castle of the loom.




this one is a hack of a hack. 
i was using plastic film cans, remember those?-
but they were on their last leg.
these are fishing weights 
found casually strolling in villaviciosa.
they are around 20 grams each, more than enough
to weight down broken threads.
