Rigid Heddle Looms A great way to "test the waters" with weaving before committing to the investment that a floor or table top loom requries. 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. Although made by various companies, I like the Ashford model, featured here. Available in 24" (the most popular) and 32" wide weaving widths, these come standard with a 10.5 dpi reed. Other reeds are available for purchase separately (5 dpi, 7.5 dpi, and 12.5 dpi). For a good book on weaving on a rigid heddle loom, check out the weaving books section.
