The Schacht Cricket Quartet is a unit which attaches to the 38cm / 15in Schacht Cricket Loom to convert it from a rigid heddle look into a 4 shaft table loom. It fits with the loom and the Cricket Loom Stand and is easily removed so that the loom can be reverted to a rigid heddle loom.
The 4 independent shafts lift the warp threaded heddles which in turn create the shed. This allows for more complex patterning and the opportunity to learn double-weave, twill, summer and winter, waffle weave, or bird’s eye weaving techniques. Simply flip the levers up and down according to the pattern draft.
The closely spaced levers smoothly raise and lower the shafts and clean sheds are achieved with help from the extended back beam. The pivot beater maximises your weaving space.
