Frame Loom Stuff

Some images from my research, to be better organized.

Takeaways:

Many frame/tapestry looms use "combs" rather than pins for warping. It's clean, requires no additional parts, but does seem a bit time consuming to cut, regardless of tool and jig used. But a comb doesn't need to be cut into the material, it could be made individually (3D printed or otherwise) and attached to the frame.

Worth noting that comb or pins can be oriented towards the upper face the frame, or top edge, there's no real reason it couldn't even be on the rear side.

5 teeth per inch seems to be a common comb density, but an ideal tpi could obviously vary based on yarn weight.
