This Schacht Standard floor loom in solid Maple wood with a high castle tray is available in a 36 or 45" weaving width.
Shown with optional second back beam
All Standard Schacht floor looms may be ordered with eight or Four Now-Four Later shaft options. The number of shafts you choose will depend on the kind of weaving you intend to do. Though most weave structures can be woven on four shafts, additional shafts will increase your pattern option extensively.
The Schacht Standard weaving loom has an underslung jack mechanism to raise the shafts. The jacks pivot from two points equidistant from the center and lift the shafts by pushing up on the center point. Schacht employs a parallel lamm system which gives our looms a light treadling action. Because of this parallel lamm, it isn't necessary to adjust the tie-up cords.
The Schacht tie-up system is quick and easy to use. Premeasured nylon tie-up cords hang from the lamms and are attached to a treadle by sliding the appropriate cords into the treadle slot. This makes changing tie-ups very fast.
Other special features of the Schacht Standard floor looms include: friction reducing aluminum shaft channels, a back beam which folds with or without a warp on the loom, removable back and breast beams, and an adjustable open-sided beater. The Schacht braking system employs a ratchet and dog on the cloth beam and a friction brake on the warp beam. This combination give you precise tension control at all times. All Schacht Standard weaving looms come complete with your choice of reed (please choose below), flat steel heddles, one 11" boat shuttle with bobbin, reed hook and lease sticks.
Please note that the lead time for these looms varies, but usually is 4 to 6 weeks. We will charge your card half when you order the loom. You will be charged the balance once we receive shipment confirmation from Schacht.
Please choose TWO reeds when purchasing above loom.
One reed is part of the loom above and a second one is FREE when purchasing a Schacht Standard loom.
Additional reeds can be purchased on the Schacht Reed page.
With the exception of the Wolf Pup, all Schacht Wolf looms will be shipped by freight to your home. You will be notified in advance of the delivery day of your weaving loom. You will have to arrange for someone to transport the loom off the truck and into your home. (The delivery driver will do this only at an extra charge. If necessary you can arrange this with us).
Please note that there is a shipping surcharge for weaving looms shipped to Alaska and Hawaii
