Inkle Loom – comparable in weave length to Ashford and Schacht looms
Recent customer quote “…my Inkle Loom is ‘Up and Running’ and I am really enjoying using it. It is much better than my old loom! I have been using it at (a National Heritage site) where it has been greatly admired by other volunteers and visiting members of the public”
With the success of out large Extra Long Weave Inkle Loom (over 8m possible weave) we are introducing a smaller version. This compares very favourably with the standard Ashford and Schacht Inkle Looms
Ours is 2″ shorter on the base than the Ashford, but 2¼” taller (13.5″) and has 13 (4″ long) pegs instead of 11 (3″) on some other well known looms.
Warp length with13 pegs. About 3.5m or 12′. With additional pegs that will increase to about 4.5-5.5m depending on the peg configuration
- Compact size – easy to assemble
- Integrated – swivel out stabilisers / stand
- Versatile – many potential user set configurations
- Inkle or tablet weaving (longer warp when tablet weaving)
- Make precise heddles on the frame by using 1 peg and the tension peg
- Right or left handed frame option – just ask
- Upgradable – longer weave – extra and longer peg sets available
- With just 1 peg set alone you can add about 40″ additional warp !!!!
