How does the Arras Loom compare to the Mirrix Loom?

Both looms offer excellent tension and durability. The Arras is made of wood, providing a traditional aesthetic, while the Mirrix is primarily metal with small quantities of plastic and wood in parts. The Arras has a larger footprint and is heavier, making it less portable than the Mirrix.

Can the Arras Loom accommodate longer warps?

Yes, with the optional beam kit upgrade, the Arras Loom can handle longer warp lengths, extending beyond the included 45 inches for larger, more complex weaving projects.

Is the Arras Loom suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. Whilst the Arras is suitable for experienced weavers it is also designed to be inviting for new weavers, offering user-friendly adjustments and features that facilitate the learning process.

What materials is the Arras Loom made from?

The Arras Loom is constructed from solid maple hardwood and maple plywood, ensuring durability and stability under high tension.

Does the Arras Loom come with assembly instructions?

Yes, the Arras Loom includes assembly instructions, and there are also video tutorials available to assist with the setup process.

Are there accessories available for the Arras Loom?

Yes, there are several accessories available, including a floor stand, treadle kit, beam kit, and traps, which enhance the loom's functionality.

How does the shedding device on the Arras Loom work?

The Arras Loom features a smooth-working, adjustable shedding device controlled by a hand lever, which can be installed on either side of the loom for convenience.

What is the weight of the Arras Loom?

The Arras Loom weighs 4.6kgs (10 pounds), and with the beam kit installed, it weighs 5.5kgs (12.25 pounds), making it relatively portable with foldable legs for travel or storage.

Can the Arras Loom be used for four-selvedge warping?

While the Arras Loom could theoretically handle four-selvedge warping, it's not the ideal choice for this technique. The space between the front and back warp layers is larger compared to looms like the Mirrix, which are better suited for methods like Fringeless warping. While it's possible, it may not be the most efficient or convenient option if you plan to do a lot of four-selvedge weaving.
