The Horizontal Warping Reel allows you to easily make a long or short warp, and this model is custom made at 42" wide instead of their stock 30" reel. Extremely rare, no longer sold by Gilmore and not originally sold to dealerships!
The reel bars are 30" across and almost 2 yards around. Because it is horizontal the warp does not slip down, and to wind your warp threads all you need to do is turn the reel. There are 2 lease crosses that can be put anywhere on the Reel section to start and end your winding. The amount of warp varies by thread type, and width. (For example 12 yards of 300 strands of 5/2 pearl cotton can easily be measured).
You can control whether the reel spins freely, turns slowly, or locks with an adjustable friction brake. The Warping Reel system is made of two sections, the Reel and the Stand. You can separate the two sections by simply lifting the reel out of the slots it sits in.
The Reel section spokes are securely locked open by tightening wing nuts and washers on both sides into locking depressions. Turning the wing nuts and washers out will release the spokes and the top will fold into a width of 10 inches.
You can collapse the reel after removing it from the stand. Or collapse it in the stand, either with the feet turned outward or release the feet and turn them long ways to set the Warping Reel against a wall.
