the pegs can create handy shelves on each side of the stand to hold stick shuttles or balls of yarn.the stand stores the warping pegs if you don’t want to keep them on the back of the loom.the stand can hold your loom when you use the warping board which is on the back of the loom.the Kromski stand allows you to set the angle of the loom (it is adjustable).This is the traditional way to hold and work this type of loom.īut what if you don’t have a suitable table or counter in the room where you want to weave? What if you want the convenience of just standing up and walking away from the loom when the phone rings? Now you see some of the advantages of a loom stand. This gives you a good view of what is being done and allows the light weight of the loom to be backstopped by your body weight as the beating is done.

Watch the videos below on how to assemble or download an Instructional PDF . The Harp comes in a boxed kit and requires assembly. Pictures shown here may show a 16″ heddle, which does have an arch. * Please Note: The Kromskis Harp in the 32″ size do not have an arched heddle. View the printed assembly instructions and instructions for using the Kromski Harp Open, it can be moved into a closet or under a bed. The Harp does not take up much space regardless of its width.Prices are slightly higher for the wider looms, but the $21-$25 difference equates to more versatility in the long run.The loom will be sitting comfortably inside this area, giving you an easy reach left and right to use your shuttles. Think about the distance of 16″ (half of the 32″) measured out from the centerline of your body to your elbows. As for throwing the shuttles, you should not find this a problem. Is a 32″ loom too large? Will it be difficult to hold and to work the shuttles back and forth? Holding a Harp in the traditional fashion – front beam on your lap and the back raked up to a table edge – will not be a problem for anyone of any size, even children.If you want to make fabric for clothing, attempting fabric on a smaller loom will limit you, so you will want either a 24″ or a 32″ Harp.Belts, runners, place mats, dish towels, scarves and similar projects will work well on a 16″ Harp. What do you want to weave? If you know, then weaving width selection will follow.You can always weave a project that is less than your maximum loom width, but you cannot weave wider (there is an exception, but we will not go there now as it does not pertain to a rigid heddle loom). Three sizes: 16″, 24″ and 32″ for versatility. Options: Kromski Tote, extra heddles, heddle blocks (for using two heddles for more complex weaving) and floor stand.Perfect for beginners, the harp provides everything a weaving student would need.
