Flip the Folding Loom 
The Feature-full Rigid Heddle Loom

Flip the Folding Loom, shown with optional Trestle I StandFlip, Schacht's new folding rigid heddle loom, is comfortable, compact, sturdy, and a pleasure to weave on. Designed for high performance, this loom folds in a jiffy for storage or transport.

Weave in comfort. 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.

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.

The 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 the Folding Loom, shown with two heddlesFlip 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, warping peg, 2 shuttles, threading hook, and complete warping and weaving instructions.

Schacht Table Looms 

(for Schacht table loom stands, see below)

Table looms are great for classroom use, workshops, sampling, and small projects.  They are ideal for learning about four- and eight-shaft pattern weaving, since the direct tie-up through the hand levers allows for infinite experimentation.

Schacht table looms are expertly crafted of the finest hard maple and built for maximum structural stability.  Many schools use Schacht table looms and find they weather well after many years of heavy use.

Schacht uses fine-toothed nylon gears on both the warp and cloth beams, which allow precise tension control.  The front-mounted levers make shaft selection easy to reach with each hand.  Front-mounted levers also make it easy to see at a glance which shafts are raised.

Schacht table looms are available in three weaving widths -15", 20", and 25"- with four or eight shafts.  The looms come with a carbon steel reed in your choice of 6, 8, 10, 12, or 15 dents.  Flat steel heddles, two apron rods, and three lease sticks are also included.  A double back beam is available for all 8 shaft table loom widths (see below).

Schacht Table Loom Stand
(stand only - loom purchased separately, see above)

Schacht's X-frame floor stand makes the table loom the correct height to be used with a standard chair.  Installation is simple - just fit the holes in the base of the loom onto pins in the stand.  The floor stand will fit older model table looms by drilling holes in the bottom of the table loom using the drill guide provided.

Schacht Tapestry Loom
(shown with optional "A" Frame Stand, see below)

Tapestry weaving is considered by many to be the most personal of all weaving.  Among the simplest of looms, the tapestry loom holds a continuous warp under tension, allowing the weaver to see all of the warp at once.  Sheds are formed using heddle bars and string heddles.  While only two heddle bars are needed for traditional tapestry weaving, we provide four heddle bars so that beginning weavers can also experiment with 4-shaft pattern weaving. 

To keep the warp tension even throughout your weaving, the tapestry loom has a tension beam with thumbscrews on the end which allow for easy adjustment.  Available in 18" and 25" weaving widths, Schacht's continuous warping system allows a 60" long warp to be put directly on the loom without using any other warping tools.

Portable Tapestry Loom Stands

"A" Frame Stand
