Rigid Heddle Weaving Looms are a terrific way to get started with hand weaving and will allow you to graduate to more advanced projects using the same loom.  They are quick and easy to setup and the warping of these looms is significantly simpler and faster than table looms or floor looms.  The Rigid Heddle Weaving Looms are great for keeping the weaving process...fun!  Look through our variety of rigid heddle looms from Ashford, Kromski and LeClerc, they are all high quality looms and great for beginners.  We recommend getting a 32" width unless portability is important to you as a 32" will allow you to do much larger projects as well as the smaller ones.  With the 16" Rigid Heddle Looms you are limited a bit by the width but they are of course much more portable.  Call us anytime at 888-320-7746 with your weaving questions, we're happy to help.

LeClerc Bergere Rigid Heddle Loom 24"
24" Weaving Width Loom


A small table loom for introduction to hand-weaving. This loom can make beautiful material with matched colours and assortment of different yarns in the weft. It weaves plain weave fabrics. With pick-up stick, it is also possible to make many different designs in your weaving and it can also be used to do small tapestry or wall hangings. Made with rigid heddle and 2 beams, it allows to warp and weave many yards of material up to 24" (60cm) wide. When the warp threads are inserted in the holes and slots of the rigid heddle the action of raising and lowering it, gives a good shed to throw the flat shuttle. The beating can be done with the plastic rigid heddle or with the edge of the flat shuttle. This loom is not a toy. It is a real beginner's loom, and is ideal for youngsters who want to learn weaving. The imagination and creativity shown by youngsters in designing with various colors and textures of weft is amazing.

Start Spinning: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn By Maggie Casey
The art of spinning is growing in popularity as knitters, new and experienced, want to make their own yarn. All it takes is some fluff, a spindle or wheel, and a little practice! Maggie Casey, co-owner of Shuttles, Spindles, and Skeins yarn shop in Boulder, Colorado, and veteran spinning teacher, takes complete novices to competent spinners in Start Spinning: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn.


 Based on Maggie's time-tested Spinning 101 workshop, which she has taught for twenty-two years, readers will learn to spin the yarn of their dreams beginning with an introduction to the various types of fibers available, choosing and preparing (or buying) fiber with which to spin, and detailed instructions for both spinning on a spindle and spinning on a wheel, with extra detail on Wheel 101 complete with plenty of photos.
Maggie also offers a special section on troubleshooting and wheel maintenance, plus tips and tricks for creating better yarns. Then she moves into plying, setting twist, using a niddy noddy, and woolen and worsted spinning. Maggie concludes with a chapter on uses for spun yarn, which covers wraps per inch, measuring yards for projects, and size of yarn.

Start Spinning: Everything You Need to Know to Make Great Yarn covers all the basics newbies need to spin their own fabulous yarn. Using yarn handspun to your own specifications is like tasting a delicious strawberry from your own garden; once spinners get comfortable creating new and wonderful yarns, anything is possible!
