I know that is 10 yrs old but ty it has helped more than other videos
I love that they named it a "Penelope" loom. Takes me back to the ancient days when Odysseus ruled.
This video is 8 years old but it did more to help me narrow down my choice in RHL than anything that's come out in the last year!
I don't know how old the video is, but the new ashford loom comes with the 2nd heddle kit built in. The Samplet loom comes in 10, 16 and 24".
I've found an advantage of the Schacht Flip loom that you haven't mentioned. After you've got the warp rolled on, you can fold it and put the heddle on the edge of the table to thread. This eliminates back stress. I do this all the time.
Thanks for sharing. Good to hear.
@@jwstanley2645 You are very welcome. I love sharing, and I've been teaching weaving with rigid heddle looms for about 20 years. I believe I've tried them all!
@@lindamhurt9503 As an teacher, which loom would you recommend to an enthusiastic novice?
@@teacat55 That is a tough question, because all of them have advantages over the others. Personally, I like the Schacht Flip for much of my own weaving. It is expensive. If I was teaching an introductory class where students had to purchase their loom with the class, I'd go with the Cricket, which is actually one of my least favorite since it is so short back-to-front.
@@lindamhurt9503 thank you!
Best video to choose a loom!
I loved the video, super helpful! I just ordered the schacht flip. I'm so excited to get it!
Kyle thank you so much for the video!
It is always difficult to figure out what loom you'd like to buy. You showed and explained many features and details of different looms.
This info is invaluable!
Thank you!
P.S. I just purchased from you LeClerc plastic shuttle for my Ashford Rigid Heddle loom. Will see how it fits.
thanks a lot for this video, very helpful. I think all of them are very good looms - and
no, at rigidheddleweaving, American products are not the only ones to buy. There are smaller countries in the world, that are worth to buy from, so why not buy from New Zealand-Ashford, Poland-Kronski, Sweden-Glimakra besides US-Schacht.
Great information and it was great to see the looms compared. I haven't found many videos with the knitters loom which is the one I am planning to buy.
Very helpful and have watched a few times. Have a 24” Schact flip loom but would like a more portable loom. Took class with Cricket and liked. Friend loves her 15” Kromski but watching M ANY videos and see Ashford a lot! I am unsure which to get. Do want in time versatility of learning patterns.
Thank you so much, I want to start weaving and this has help me a lot!

Just ordered the Kromsky(?)
When I get more experience I can add those extra heddles!
I love your historic home!
realise this is old now but the boat shuttles are great, but only if y ou have thin thread to weave with. if you have thick thread or yarn for the knitters loom you are forever refilling the bobbin in the shuttle
Thanks Kyle, very informative and useful.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking at all of these individually and needed to see a comparison.
I 💓 my Beka Rigid Heddle loom
Thank you very much! Very helpful video!
So, what would you recommend for beginners? Like me, I don’t know what to get
Birthday wishlist #1. Great video :)
This is awesome! Thank you so much for all the info... Definitely helping me make a decision as to which loom to buy!
Ps... Is it me or is Kyle really attractive?
Do you have a video like this for table looms? Thanks!
Could you compare the kromski ridge heddle and ashford?
I wonder why reeds aren't higher so the vent would be larger.
Sir, would you be able to send me a pic of WHERE the heddle sits inside the frame? I have an older Schacht loom. In order to warp it, my only option is an open shed which makes for uneven warp. I have someone who is willing to fix this, but he needs a picture.
Thank you so very much for all the info in this video. I am very new to weaving - have never had a look in my life - and, I need to find out all the information I can before I purchase my first loom. Can you please give me some information on what type of loom I should look into getting. What I'm wanting to weave is small to large rugs, and, blankets. Don't know if it's possible, but, I'm wanting to weave my own "sheets" or "fabrics" too - with my own designs in them. Is there any info or advice you can give me? I also like the feature that some looms have where the shed can separate each weft yarn for each direction you are weaving in. What type loom is that, please? Thank you for answering all you can for me - I do really appreciate it. C. H.

hi could you update the Ashford loom details. fair few changes since you made this
Can you use a boat shuttle with the Ashford Rigid Heddle Looms?
So much information and really helpful! Thanks. :)
I'm having problems with RUclips it's not showing going off and not staying on
Why is that loom that is on a stand called a "knitter's" loom? Other than being on a stand, what makes it different than the others? Ya forgot to explain that, which was the information I wanted to hear.
@@artisticlion9218 You can fold and transport it with the weaving in place. They are not necessarily smaller, but they are different sized widths from the non-folding variety.
It came out as a very narrow loom that was aimed to interest knitters into weaving up their left over yarn into interesting scarves. There was never going to be a wider version, but there was so much interest in it, the vendor went ahead and pleased their new customer base.
Any updates on rigid heddle looms?
No Crickets?
I am new to weaving, and I am ultimately interested (not as a beginner) in weaving garments like saris or very particular apparel fabrics like silk taffeta or camlet or lightweight wool-silk suiting. My primary concern is that I haven't truly seen many truly dense fine-yarn fabrics on rigid heddle looms. Is this something the metal tensioner would help with? Or is that something entirely in or entirely outside the scope of rigid heddle looms?
I'm a military wife, so a floor loom really isn't in the cards, right now, given that I move often and the handling of large expensive furniture is ... largely out of my control. I plan on making a pit loom when we settle down, but for now I'm putting a premium on width (because of the saris, which want at least 45 inches in the weft) and relative portability.
Please show how to warp on the Kromski harp Weaving Loom, using the built in pegs on the back of the loom. Then, please give a lesson on actually thee setting up and beginning weaving on the 32 inch Kromski Weaving Loom and give an estimate of the cost of the stand, to hold the 32 inch Loom, the Kromski Harp 32 inch Folding Natural Finished Loom, stating what comes with the Loom, and the cost of a small thin boat shuttle with appropriate bobbins (if thread is already on bobbins, prefer aqua and teal for first project that l want to make and give me an estimate, please). For my project, l want to make a Beachy Table Cloth, because we live near the Beach. When and if this COVID-19 gets in control, and l am allowed to leave home for things l really want to do ( right now, since l am Type 2 Diabetic, and l am 70 years old, l am on the high risk category, so, in Alabama, l am only allowed to wear a mask and go to my parents Doctors, to the Pharmacy, and to the grocery store). When and if COVID-19 gets in control, l would love to already know a little about the Weaving Basics, so l can try to find. a Weaving Guild around here, so l can continue. to learn more. Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my new be questions . Take care and stay safe. Patsy Walker Ronemous. ronemousp@gmail.com.

Good video thank you for showing us options but your friend’s breathing was very bothersome.
Can you weave silk on this??
+Pierce D03 huh... that's a good question. That would make a really pretty scarf!
but can you weave silk on this?
Yes, IF you have a fine dent reed (the heddle of no less than a size 15 DPI that would be 15 threads per in across) and use a heavy silk, yes, they do exist. Otherwise no. Personally, I would not use a Rigid heddle or knitters loom for fine silks
When it comes to choosing my equipment, I like to buy American.
Do you have a site that I could buy one from?
Shani
I have a site with links to Blick Art where you may purchase a Schacht Cricket. Feel free to visit my channel and you'll see my webpages listed.

Sorry, US is big but not the heart of the world. You do it too thick, you posted this several times.
go4mac I agree with you. Jingoism is not pretty. However, I try to keep my neighbors in business as much as I can. I don't begrudge Chinese women their salary, they work really really hard for it. But I cannot forget my neighbors who also need a salary; and a living one at that.
I agree, so I am for Louet, they are Dutch. ^_~ Besides this, in the meantime I learnt more and learnt that Louet looms are a charme to work with.
Travis, please ask your camera person to keep the camera still. I was getting queezy watching this. :(
If you are in the USA I encourage you to buy American. Schacht makes excellent products.
rigidheddleweaving why don’t you make your own video, completely steady and showing only American products rather than jumping into someone else’s
