Susanna

 Susanna is a good choice for the beginner, as it is an easy to use rigid heddle loom. This gives you two sheds for weaving plain weave.

The loom frame is sturdy, but very portable. The back of the frame can be made into a warping frame for winding your warp. Just turn it upside down and insert the dowels.

Susanna is made from birch and has an inside width of 80 cm (31"). A special floor stand is available.

Weaving width: 70 cm
Table space: 85 x 85 cm

Little Susie: A small, folding rigid heddle loom. Under development

Band loom

The Band loom is a traditional style of Scandinavian loom for making ribbons, decorative bands and belts. Today you can use it to weave these and other narrow woven items like scarves and runners. You can weave up to 5 inches wide.

The band loom has two treadles, leaving your hands free for easy weaving. The band loom can also be used for tablet weaving. Equipment for weaving as an inkle loom for pick up weave is included.

Weaving width: 13 cm (5")
Floor space: 40 x 92 cm
Height: 115 cm
