Characteristics and Details

The loom

The Kromski Presto 40 cm rigid heddle loom is a small, compact loom that can be dismantled with the warp still in place, taking up less space for travelling or simply for storing it without having to finish your work in a hurry. The warp beam guides and lower supports are removed, the heddle is loosened and the loom is ready to go into “flat mode”, making it easy to transport. It is designed for weaving small pieces with a high level of technical control. Its reduced size makes it a very manageable tool, ideal for beginning to weave by hand, making samples, weaving small pieces and studying textile structures without needing much space. Despite its compact format, it offers good stability and regular warp tension, allowing you to work comfortably on different types of projects.

Check the tension of the heddles or reed according to use.
Store the loom in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight when not in use.
