The Lojan Flex rigid heddle loom is a flexible loom that can evolve into a 4 or 8 shaft table loom!
Start with this rigid heddle loom to master the basic weaving techniques. Quickly learn patterning techniques such as using pick-up sticks to lift warp threads to make a shed along with the heddle, or advance to double weaving with an additional reed.
A kit is available to convert the Flex Rigid Heddle loom into either a 4 shaft or 8 shaft loom. Once converted, the weaving loom can then be converted back into a rigid heddle loom depending on the project in hand!
Choose from 30cm or 50cm weaving widths. The looms are 62cm deep, and only 18cm high when folded. To make your loom unique, you can stain, wax or varnish the natural wood components of the loom before putting it together.
