Schacht's Flip is a folding rigid heddle loom, it is 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: hook the rear leg on a table edge, clamp it to a table for stand-up weaving, or install the Flip on our Trestle Stand. Warp in a flash with the included warping peg.
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 5, 8, 10 and 12 dents per inch, is made of durable ABS plastic, with large eyes and slots. Flip is ideal for plain weaves and pick-up patterns.
Flip’s two-heddle capabilities make it easy and natural to weave with two heddles.
Shown here on the optional Stand.
Included are clamps and a warping peg for direct-loom warping. We include instructions for both direct and pre-measured warping methods. The top cross braces allow long warps, up to 5–6 yards (depending on yarn weight and winding paper), to be wound on the beams without impacting the size of the shed.
Specifications
Flip is available in 15″, 20″, 25″, and 30″ weaving widths, and includes one 5-, 8-, 10-, or 12-dent reed, warping peg, 2 stick shuttles, 2 clamps, 1 threading hook, and complete warping and weaving instructions.
