Harrisville Floor Loom 22/4 22" 4 Harness "Little Workhorse" 6 Treadles Review

So you have been spinning for a while or you were inspired by the movie "Wanted" (2008) Angelina Jolie. Now it is time to apply your talents to a new skill, weaving. If you have a rigid heddle in mind to get off the ground and/or for economic purposes, I can assure you that you will only be satisfied for a short time. You need to dive in and apply that money towards the cost of this professional tool.
You can still learn and use the simple patterns with just two harnesses. And when you are ready to graduate to four harnesses you will have them. There are many books that stop at four harness drafts. The size and wheels make this a perfect tool to take to classes or demos. 22" is good enough for many projects. After mastering the basics you can actually make 44" items by folding your weaving. For the more adventurous you can even make clothing. It will take time to out grow this exquisite weaving machine.
When it comes time to expand your equipment, buy a bench or just select your next project, Harrisville will be there.

Weaving Width of 22" and has four harnesess and sixFolds to 13" for easy storage!As one of the most popular workshop looms Harrisville loom on the market, the versatile little 22/4 is ideal if you want a somewhat portable loom, but still the convenience of a four harness loom. The Harrisville floating parallel lamms and unique tie-up system using "snap chains" make it a breeze to set-up. The suspended harnesses allow for a smoother, quieter action and won't break fine warp threads as easily as stationary harnesses can. The Model 22/4 weaves a full 22 inches and comes with 4 harnesses and 6 treadles. It can be folded with the warp in place without disengaging the tie-up. All 22" weaving loom models are also equipped with wheels for easy transporting. All Harrisville looms are made with the finest hardwoods and have an adjustable beater to accommodate reeds of different lengths and widths. The rear friction brake allows for infinite tension control. The Model 22/4 is expertly designed and crafted keeping durability, portability, and economy in mind.Our Loom Design PhilosophyAt Harrisville Designs, we believe that hand weaving requires equipment that meets the highest standard of both quality and function. Since building our first loom in 1972, our philosophy has always been that function, quality, and economy are equal elements to sound design. Each item must first and foremost be a good tool. We use the finest hardwoods and natural products as often as possible, because we believe that hand weaving tools designed to work well should also be easy to live with, to look at and to use.If you are looking for the top of the line loom our Rug Looms are for you. If you are looking for quality and economy, check out our standard floor looms. These are available as kits as well as assembled.

Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom Stand 24 inch Review

Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom Stand 24 inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I started weaving, I used a ridged heddle loom. I only did a few projects when I decided to purchase an eight-shaft floor loom so I would be ready for anything in the future. I also have a table loom that can go from eight to 12 shafts. Since then most of the projects I tackled could have been accomplished in the rigid heddle.
This animal is more effective and easier to handle than I realize. Moreover, it has a major manufacturer to back it up.
I use the stand because there is no more room in the weaving room for tables. You could probably set this up in front of a TV for watching instruction videos. Build a small cover to keep the cats off it. Cats like to sleep on it and any loose thread is fair game until they are trained.
This is not a toy.
I would point to Ashford but they have no multishaft looms on Amazon.

G S Hypo Cement Precise Applicator Jewelers/Beading Cement Review

I was totally over charged for this product online. it was listed at half the price at Michaels and if you use one of their coupons it would be 1/4 of the price! This cement glue is a real pain as it does not stop coming out of the tube once you use it. You have to get the cap on super fast (I recommend magnifying glasses to do so). I would say that in the end you lose about 30-50% of the tube due to this poor tube design.

Printies Pets Design Studio Review

This is a fantastic idea for a toy, and my 7 year old daughter had a blast designing her animal! But be prepared to possibly spend an hour printing out one animal! Our printer (a Canon MP470) consistently thought the paper was jamming the printer because of the fabric that is attached to the paper. It was frustrating, but the finished product was really cute!
