In the bottom picture, you can see the heddle bars are out and the heddles are loose in the warp, just waiting for me to pull them out.

The top picture shows how I released the top spring, but I left it in. It keeps every warp thread all separated and in order. I also kept the bar on top of the warp threads. Now they cannot fall out the front or the back of the spring!

I rolled the whole thing up after I took it off the loom and it is ready for putting it back on the loom, which I predict might be sometime in this century, hopefully before I die.
