Which Rigid Heddle Loom to Buy?

We generally recommend a loom between 15"(38cm) to 25"(64cm) are good size to start with. Smaller looms than this are great if you're just wanting to weave scarves, strips of fabric or just something small to transport and work well.

What can you weave on a 16 Rigid Heddle loom?

A 10” or 16” loom is most suitable for scarves. On a 20” loom you could start to weave placemats and hand towels. A 32” loom will allow you to create shawls and even fabric yardage to sew into something. On a wide loom you can also weave narrow projects, but you can't weave wider projects on a narrow loom.

How much does a Rigid Heddle loom cost?

Let's start with the first rigid heddle loom I ever bought and still use constantly. Listed at $225, this loom comes with a standard 7.5 dent heddle, warping peg, 2 clamps, a threading hook, 2 shuttles, cardboard warping sticks and an instruction booklet.
