Rigid Heddle Looms are a great introduction to weaving and the skills you learn are all transferable to other types of looms. Easy to set up and use, this loom comes with a 5dpi* rigid heddle but has been designed to work with Ashford SampleIt Loom Reed (10″/25cm) for additional flexibility.
*dpi = Dents Per Inch – number of spaces (dents) per inch in a reed or rigid heddle.
Full instructions for making and using the Rigid Heddle Loom can be found on our Instructables page:
