Weaving Loom Accessories FAQs
What weaving loom accessories do I need most often?
Commonly used accessories include heddles, cords, lease sticks, second heddle kits, and tensioning aids. These parts help improve or restore your loom's function and make setup and weaving smoother and more efficient.
Can I buy replacement loom parts for Ashford and Louet looms here?
Yes. Thread Collective stocks a wide range of parts compatible with major loom brands like Ashford, Louet, Schacht, and Mirrix. Always check the product details for compatibility or reach out if you're unsure.
How do I know if a heddle or cord will fit my loom?
Heddles and cords come in different lengths and types depending on the loom brand and shaft setup. We recommend checking your loom’s manual for specifications or contacting us for help choosing the right size.
What’s the difference between a second heddle kit and a second warp beam?
A second heddle kit allows you to double your ends per inch or try more complex patterns on rigid heddle looms. A second warp beam helps you manage tension on multiple warp layers, useful for more advanced weaving techniques.
Do I need specialised tools to replace loom parts?
Most replacements like heddles, cords, or pegs can be installed by hand or with basic tools. Some kits may include instructions, and we’re happy to offer advice if you need help.
Will these accessories help improve my weaving tension?
Yes. Many tools in this collection—like warp tension regulators, temples, and second beams—are designed to help you maintain consistent tension and prevent problems like draw-in or uneven edges.
Are these loom accessories suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. Beginners often benefit from accessories like threading hooks, helping hands kits, or shuttle upgrades. These tools can make learning easier and reduce frustration during setup and weaving.
Can I travel with these accessories or use them with portable looms?
Many accessories are lightweight and portable, especially those for rigid heddle or table looms. Some products, like loom carry bags or compact heddle kits, are made specifically for portability.
Do these accessories include anything for tapestry looms?
Yes. The collection includes items compatible with tapestry setups, like Mirrix loom stands, extenders, and bottom spring kits. Always check the product descriptions to confirm they fit your loom model.
