The Schacht Flip is the new folding rigid heddle loom. The Flip is comfortable, compact, sturdy, and a pleasure to weave on. Designed for high performance, this loom folds in a jiffy for storage or transport. This loom is built like a tank as it's made in the USA by a family business in Colorado who really know weaving. The flip is top of its class with the highest quality wood and gear system and built in 2nd heddle kit when you're ready for it. It is perfect for beginners with little or no experience or weavers that have taken a break from weaving and are wanting to get back into the craft.
With the Flip you will weave in comfort and style. Choose three different weaving modes: use the rear leg for hooking to a table edge, clamp it to a table for stand-up weaving, or install it on our convenient trestle stand! You will warp in a flash. Included with Flip, the folding loom, are clamps and a warping peg for direct-loom warping. We include instructions for both direct and pre-measuring methods. Our top cross brace allows long warps, up to 5-6 yards (depending on weight and winding paper), to be wound on the beams without impacting the size of the shed. Fine-toothed nylon ratchets provide precise tension control.
The conveniently located heddle blocks on the sides of the loom hold the rigid heddle in the up, down, or neutral position. The heddle, available in 8, 10 and 12 dents per inch, is made of durable ABS plastic, with large eyes and slots. Flip is ideal for plain weaves and pick-up patterns. Our exclusively-designed two heddle capabilities make sense of 2-heddle weaving for the first time. Flip is available in 15", 20", and 25" weaving widths, and includes an 8-, 10-, or 12-dent reed or your choice, warping peg, 2 shuttles, threading hook, and complete warping and weaving instructions.
