This Kromski Harp Forte 60 cm loom is innovative in design, functional and robust. It is easy to assemble and use, and allows you to work on wider pieces, whether you are just beginning to weave on a loom or already have experience. Two of the most notable features of the Harp Forte are its brake wheels on both sides of the loom, which help control warp tension, and the possibility of folding the loom to make it easier to travel with or store it with the warp still mounted inside, without having to finish the piece first. It allows a maximum weaving width of 60 cm, can be used with two reeds, and includes an integrated warping board so you can choose your preferred warping method. It is a versatile and straightforward loom for learning to weave and for weaving regularly.

Delivery time: 24 to 48 working hours in mainland Spain.

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.
