Levels of Rigid Heddle Weaving - Growing With Your Loom

Hi Weavers!

I spend a lot of time talking about rigid heddle looms and with good reason!

A rigid heddle loom is perfect for a brand new beginner weaver, and it's a loom that can grow with you.

As your weaving skills and interests change and intensify over time you may find that you want to move beyond plain weave.

There is so much to explore in weaving, it really is limitless, and while a rigid heddle loom does have it's own particular limitations, it's a loom that is willing to grow with you.

The point I'm trying to make is that the RH loom is capable of simple AND more complex weaving. All it takes is your willingness to learn and explore.

In this article I outline just some of the things a RH loom is able to do - from simple plain weave right up to complex weave structures:

Simple and Complex Patterns on the Rigid Heddle Loom...

Speaking of a loom that grows with you, loom companies have been innovating in recent years to help make that happen.

Schacht brought out the Cricket Quartet and Lojan have really levelled up by producing the Flex rigid heddle loom that can be upgraded to a 4 or 8 shaft table loom while easily and seamlessly switching back to a rigid heddle loom.
