The knitters loom is basically a high quality rigid heddle loom designed for travel. This loom is built for durability much like the Flip loom from Schacht and is very high quality. It's one of our favorite looms here at the shop and a great middle of the road choice in our rigid heddle loom category.

This loom is terrific for weavers on the go and knitters who are ready to try their hand at weaving and have a lot of fun getting started. Warping these little fellas is a breeze and the projects in the Ashford Book of Weaving for Knitters is packed full of hip and easy projects that even non-weavers can tackle. This loom is the easiest way to get started weaving and it's so portable you can take it on the plane!

A floor standing INKLE Loom, to weave strips of fabric up to 6in wide and 16 feet long.

Designed for continuous string heddles which are made in minutes. The heddle length is adjustable by turning the heddle carrier. The weaving is swift, quiet and colorful. Useful articles, such as belts, ties, guitar straps, tray-holders, etc., can be completed in an hour's weaving time. Strips can be joined for cushions, wall-hangings. 

The CENDREL can be converted to an efficient warping frame with the supplied warping pegs. It then becomes one of the basic tools for any weaving.

The CENDREL can wind a warp up to 10 yds. long.

This fiber takes dye wonderfully and is naturally a little more off white than usual.  I dyed some of it up quickly with Country Classics in our dye room and spun some up.  Take a look at the photo on this page for reference.  

In the last 18 months, we have become interested in many of the European sheep breeds that have had little exposure in the fiber arts community. The Portuguese Merino Sheep has its roots going back 400 plus years to the original Spanish Merino Stock. Even though the breed is called Portuguese Merino, it's merino with a little "m". The micron count on the wool is just under 25 microns so it's best for felting or outerwear and great for beginning spinners. The wool is relatively short at 2" to 2.5" staple. What makes the wool so interesting is its elasticity. The top has incredible body which produces a yarn with the same characteristic.

The wool is produced into top at a plant in Portugal. We've been told that their equipment might not be the newest-the term "vintage" comes to mind. So the top is not the prettiest and there may be a small amount of vegetable matter in it, but it just adds to the unique character of the wool.

The genetics on this breed is very interesting. As mentioned earlier, the breed has some of the same genetic markers as the original Spanish Merino but there is no doubt that the Portuguese existed on a parallel track with the Spanish as long as 500 years ago. In the early 20th century, the French Mutton Merino was crossed with the Portuguese to improve early maturity of lambs. The French Mutton Merino was established in Rambouillet, France to improve the meat characteristics of the many merino breeds. The foundation stock of the French Mutton Merino and the Rambouillet sheep is, of course, the Spanish Merino.

A scarf that evokes the complexity of an ocean in constant movement. The crystal clear waters of a Bermudian sea with its shoals and reefs, waves washing up onto a coral beach, while pastel coloured houses line the shore.The magic of short-rows,dispersed randomly throughout this piece, brings about the effect of waves cascading, one over the other. Follow the pattern to create a scarf as pictured. Or once you have grasped the concept of the scarf’s construction, place your short-row sections as you like and design a scarf that is uniquely yours.  Kit uses Noro Silk Garden.  Scarf shown is knit with color 264.
