The Schacht Cricket Loom is a compact, capable, and cute weaving loom! It’s available in 25cm (10″) or 38cm (15″) weaving widths. The Cricket is made of high-quality maple ply and hard maple and is left unfinished. Each Cricket comes with an 8-dent reed (sorry, no substitutions). We also have 5, 10 and 12 dent reeds available. Included are a threading hook, warping peg, table clamps, two shuttles, and two balls of yarn.
38cm (15″) Weaving Width The wider weaving width offers more flexibility in your choice of weaving projects, and this Cricket remains portable. Uses the same reeds as the 38cm Flip folding rigid heddle loom. Additional shuttles and pick-up sticks are available.
25cm (10″) Weaving Width At only 33cm x 45cm x 15cm and just under 1.8kg, it’s easy to take along. The 25cm weaving width gives plenty of room to make a variety of projects without sacrificing portability. It’s an ideal size for a new weaver of any age. As of April 2010, the Cricket has been redesigned with the ratchet gear and dog on the outside of the loom to make it even easier to adjust tension. Additional shuttles and pick-up sticks are available.
How does a rigid heddle loom make weaving fun and easy? When the heddle is moved from the neutral position to the down or up position, it creates a shed, or opening, where the weft can pass through. This makes weaving much quicker than picking each yarn up by hand as you would do with a frame loom. See below.
Down, up, and neutral sheds are created by moving the heddle to different positions.
If the Schacht item you want is on backorder, please be advised that there is a wait time of approximately 8 weeks before it gets shipped. Please note that this is a general estimate, and unexpected production and delivery delays can occur.
What is the maximum length that you can weave on the Schacht Cricket Loom?
The general yardage you can do on the Schacht Cricket Loom would be approximately 12ft (4yds), but it also depends on the warp thread thickness.
Can I weave patterns beyond plain weave on the Cricket Loom?
Yes, by using pick-up sticks or a second heddle, you can create patterns like twills and lace weaves on the Cricket Loom.
Is the Cricket Loom suitable for weaving with fine yarns?
Yes, with the appropriate reed (10 or 12 dent), the Cricket Loom can handle some finer yarns (fingering/4ply through to heavy lace weight and even 3/2 cotton depending on the cloth's purpose) effectively.
How does the Cricket Loom compare to the Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom?
Both are quality looms; the Cricket has a back beam, similar to that found on a floor loom, that keeps the warp level, which some weavers prefer for consistent tension. It is sturdy, compact, and targeted to weavers of any age or skill level. The Ashford may provide more opportunity for growth as a weaver as it has an optional second heddle attachment and a wider range of heddles and sizes available.
Can I use the Cricket Loom for tapestry weaving?
While primarily designed for fabric weaving, the Cricket Loom can be adapted for simple tapestry projects, though it lacks the tension control of dedicated tapestry looms.
What is the maximum warp length I can use on the Cricket Loom?
The Cricket Loom can accommodate a maximum warp length of up to 5–6 yards, depending on yarn weight and winding technique.
Are replacement parts available for the Cricket Loom?
Yes, Schacht provides replacement parts for the Cricket Loom, including heddles, apron bars, cord, ratchet dogs, and other accessories. If the part you require is not listed, please get in touch and we can assist in sourcing it for you.
Can the Cricket Loom be used for double-width weaving?
No, the Cricket Loom is unable to support a double heddle setup; however, if converted to a table loom, you could then weave double width. The Quartet table loom add-on can be purchased here.
Is the Cricket Loom compatible with other brands' accessories?
It's best to use Schacht accessories to ensure compatibility, as other brands' accessories may not fit properly.
How do I maintain even tension on the Cricket Loom?
Ensure the warp is wound evenly and use the ratchet and pawl system to maintain consistent tension during weaving.
Can I weave with bulky yarns on the Cricket Loom?
Yes, by using a 5-dent reed, the Cricket Loom can accommodate bulky and novelty yarns for various projects.
Can I convert my Schacht Cricket loom to a table loom?
Yes! This rigid heddle loom can be converted to a 4-shaft table loom with the addition of the Schacht Cricket Quartet table. You can find it here: https://threadcollective.com.au/products/schacht-cricket-quartet. This makes the Schacht Cricket a very attractive option for the beginner weaver who might like to eventually move from a rigid heddle loom to a multishaft loom.
