A temple (also called a stretcher) holds your weaving out to its full width as sleyed in the reed, preventing the draw-in that causes broken selvedge threads, uneven edges, and abraded warp at the reed. If you weave towels, blankets, or rugs - anything wide - a temple will pay for itself in saved selvedges and fewer broken ends.
These adjustable wooden temples from Leclerc lock to your exact weaving width:
36" Temple - adjusts from 36" to 60" weaving width
56" Temple - adjusts from 56" to 100" weaving width
Made by Leclerc Looms from Canadian maple.
