Looms & Weaving

Our Incredible Rope Machine gets even more incredible with a rounded design that makes for smoother action and easier rope-making. The new hook design refines the aesthetic appeal of this perennial favorite.

The Incredible Rope Machine is the fiber artist’s handy tool for making customized edge trims—think accents for pillows, coats, and sweaters; purse handles, jewelry, belts, and more. This simple-to-use tool allows the craftsperson to fashion the just-right accent. Any size, color, or texture of yarn can be used.  Blend colors, textures, and fibers to make everything from very fine ropes to very thick ones.

Complete easy-to-follow instructions show you how to be infinitely creative with the Incredible Rope machine.

The new 2024 XL design is beautifully shaped and well balanced to reduce warp thread pick-up when weaving on a table loom, while still remaining ergonomic to hold and throw. The XL nylon bobbin will give you 50% more yarn capacity than the standard nylon boat shuttle bobbin.

Additional reeds for your Cricket Quartet. Available in 6, 8, 10, 12, & 15 dent. 13 1/2" weaving width.

This beautifully shaped and well balanced boat shuttle has been designed to reduce warp thread pick-up when weaving on a table loom, while still remaining ergonomic to hold and throw. Suitable for standard nylon or paper bobbins.

Boat Shuttle 29cm (11½”) includes 1 nylon bobbin.

Made to hold medium to heavy yarns, ski shuttles are designed so that the yarn is wrapped horizontally around the top of the ski. The smooth bottom slides smoothly across the warp.  They are available in 18" and 24" lengths.

Tapestry beaters allow you to pack in picks of weft yarn, across an entire row of weaving or in small areas. They're perfect for tapestry looms and other small looms when you're weaving a weft-dominant or weft-faced fabric. Our 3 styles are made of hard maple with a smooth Danish oil finish:

Our new Duet beater comes with interchangeable metal combs, set at 8 ends per inch and 12 ends per inch. To change combs, just loosen the screw in the handle, swap out the comb, and then retighten the screw.

Schacht’s Fringe Twister makes creating the final finishing touch quick, easy and comfortable. We’ve re-designed the traditional straight style twister into our curvaceous one. It wasn’t aesthetics that dictated this change, but rather functionality. The round shape will never jam like straight twisters tend to, allowing you to wind quickly and smoothly. Our Fringe Twister offers two hand winding positions, the handle or the turning wheel, Use whichever feels the most comfortable. The shapely handle is designed to be easy to hold for either right or left handed twisting. The threaded clips can be easily replaced if damaged; our Twister sports 3 of them, but you can use only 2 if that is what the project requires.

Some assembly required.

Tapestry weaving just got easier with the Arras Trap. Place your Trap on the Arras Tapestry Loom above the shedding device so that your tools are always where you need them. If you've got an Arras Stand, you can add a Trap to the Loom and a Trap to the Stand for extra storage.

Tired of making your own inkle loom heddles? Take some of the work out of warping with a pack of 100 Texsolv Heddles (Green 8 5/8") for use with the Schacht Inkle loom. 

The heddles come strung together in a continuous strand bundle that are tied off with green twist ties. In order to use the heddles for inkle weaving, they must be separated by cutting them apart at the top and bottom in the middle of the 1.25" loop. 

Once separated, the heddles are used the same way as homemade double heddles. Simply fold the heddle in half, place it over the warp strings and loop both ends on the warp peg. These are regular Texsolv heddles that have an inserted eye in the middle of them. Ignore the inserted eye for inkle weaving. The inserted eye will NOT have any warp threads threaded through it. 

For more information on how to warp your Schacht Inkle Loom, please refer to weaving instructions included in the Assembly Manual. The manual may be downloaded freely at https://schachtspindle.com/products/inkle-loom. 

With dents ranging from 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15, our rigid heddles let you weave with a wide variety of yarns. These rigid heddles fit all Cricket and Flip looms.

Slim heddle hook included with 15 dent reed.

Single-ended tapestry beater made of hard maple with a smooth Danish oil finish. The wooden teeth are set at five per inch.

This "handi" tool is designed for weavers with impaired physical strength or limited hand mobility to assist when turning the handles to advance the warp on Ashford looms. The handi handle is simply placed over the existing nylon handle of your loom and turned gently. 

This product is not necessary for weavers without impairments, or weakness or other hand and arm ailments.

PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend only using sufficient warp tension for your project. Do not over tighten. Too much tension will make weaving harder, reduce the shed and could damage your loom. 

The Handi Handles comes in two sizes:

Handi Handles Small - for Katie, Knitters and SampleIt Looms
Handi Handles Large - for Standard Rigid Heddle and Table Looms

The Weaving Stick is a small, versatile tool that can be used as a pick up stick and weaving needle. Its slim profile allows extra maneuverability for any weaving project.

• Available in 3 lengths
