Rigid Heddle Looms

A rigid heddle loom is a frame loom named for the rigid heddle itself, the part that lifts and lowers the warp and spaces your yarn evenly. That one piece is why it is the usual first loom for new weavers, and why experienced weavers keep one for fast projects. We stock 18 models from 4 to 32 inches wide, $67 to $632, from Beka, Schacht, Kromski, Lojan, Leclerc and Glimakra.

Your Kromski comes with something extra this October.

Qualifying Kromski spinning wheels include wool + NeppArt, while qualifying Kromski looms include a matching stick shuttle. No code needed through October 31.

Rigid heddle looms for beginners and beyond

A rigid heddle loom is the easiest way to start weaving real cloth. One heddle spaces and lifts the warp, so you can warp up in an afternoon and weave scarves, towels, and runners. Choose from Schacht, Kromski, Glimakra, Beka, Leclerc, and Lojan.

What's the best rigid heddle loom for a beginner?

Start with width. A 10 to 16 inch loom is plenty for scarves and towels and easy to store. Go 20 to 32 inches for shawls and blankets. Folding looms like the Flip, Harp Forte, and Emilia tuck away between projects, and many looms take a second heddle for finer cloth. Match heddles, stands, and bags to your exact model.
