System Texsolv

Three parts. One complete loom.

Everything in the system is crocheted polyester cord: durable, knotless and non-stretching, so it fits, adjusts and stays put on any loom type.

U-cord & tie-up sets

A loop every 12 mm (½"). Tie up a loom in minutes, adjust shed height in seconds, and never tie a knot again. Three standard cords cover every job on the loom:

U-cord 1/12StandardThe most used cord. Thin and flexible yet very strong, with a breaking strength of 80 kg (180 lbs). For tie-ups, shaft connections and lamms on most looms.
U-cord 1/12, 3-threadFineA slightly finer version made with three threads for a slimmer profile. Ideal for light looms, small tie-ups or wherever minimal bulk is wanted.
Heavy U-cord 1/20Beam cordThicker and stronger, for heavy loads such as counterweight rollers, warp-beam weights and aprons. Extra durability where more support is needed.

About Texsolv

A small Swedish factory. A global standard.

Founded in 1977 by Sune Ivarsson, run today by his son Thomas from Vitlanda in Tösse, 15 km south of Åmål.

We started with heddles, cord and tie-up sets for hand looms, and ladder string for Venetian blinds. Today every product is still made on our own custom-built machines, kept in stock and shipped worldwide. Custom lengths and sets on short notice, depending on quantity.

I've published an 8-shaft table loom on Thingiverse, primarily 3D printed. I recently modified it so it can also use your heddles. See the documentation on the site for more details (PDF file). Best regards.

Purchased orange texsolv heddles. They came all wrapped in 100 packages with ties around proper loops to slip easily onto loom shafts. Well packed and lots of instructions on-line for assembly!

I love my Texsolv heddles that I bought in a series of colors. Green is for shafts number 4 and 10 on my loom. Adding a different color for each shaft makes everything easier to thread! Highly recommended.

The same loop, outside the loom.

RunLock takes the Texsolv idea, a rope with a loop every few centimetres, outdoors. Adjustable, knot-free fastening that holds, releases in a second and never jams: for boats, hunting, towing, gardens and everyday tie-downs.
