Permanent connections A to E

Connections A to E are made once and left in place. A: pull the double cord through itself in the direction of the arrow, and the hole turns inside out to form a loop. B: the loom part is attached through that loop. C, D and E are variations for bars, hooks and doubled cords.

Use a permanent connection wherever the cord attaches to a fixed part of the loom that never needs adjusting: shaft bars, lamm ends, treadle eyes. The adjustable end of the same cord is then made with one of connections F to I.
