Rigid Heddle Looms Holiday Special.....get "Ideas In Weaving" (a fantastic weaving book....absolutely free) with any rigid hedle loom purchase between now and XMAS!!! A great way to learn the basics and enjoy years of weaving withouth having to invest a large amount of money or dedicate a huge space to a floor loom. And with the holiday special, you'll be able to weave for years without getting bored there are so many wonderful patterns and ideas in this book! With a rigid heddle loom many designs are possible in plain weave....stripes, plaids, juxtaposing different textures and weights of yarn, even playing with sett differences and simple hand-controlled lace weaves are possible. We stock the 24" width in both the Ashford and the Kromski Harp models, although we can certainly order other sizes. Both models are easy to use and quick to set up. Both can be warped without a warping board and both come with some accessories to get you going (sley hook, stick shuttle). They both have optional stands that can be purchased and both have additional reeds that can be purchased for using heavier or finer yarns in the warp. For an even less expensive way to get involved with weaving, check out our Potholder Looms and our Inklette Looms.
Ashford 24" Rigid Heddle Loom: $185.00 This has been a popular model. It is easy to warp (all tools included) and comes with a stick shuttle, sley hook, instruction book and a 10.5 dpi reed.
Kromski Harp; 24" Rigid Heddle Loom: Price: $241.50 This is another easy to set up and use loom that has a different aesthetic than the Ashford and offers a folding option (I've had several customers who boat a lot in the summer and love this feature!). Also comes with all the tools you need to warp the loom, plus 2 stick shuttles and a pick up stick and threading hook. This loom comes with a 10 dpi reed.
