Using this loom raddle is quite simple. Just place it in the right position on your loom and start using it for your weaving projects. When using, be careful around the broken end piece to avoid any injuries. To maintain it, keep it in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. You can gently wipe it with a dry cloth to remove dust. If there are stubborn stains, use a mild wood cleaner. Don't expose it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the wood.
