The Beam Kit for the Arras Tapestry Loom allows you to wind longer warps giving you the flexibility of weaving different sized projects. The beam kit includes a sturdy base, plus ratcheted warp and cloth beams for superb tensioning control.
The Schacht beam kit will fit on all Arras looms. Assembly is simple and requires only a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
Once you’ve installed the kit, you will need a raddle no more than 20″ wide to warp the loom. Our raddle for warps up to 20″ wide perfectly fits the loom.
