This Kromski Harp Forte 80 cm loom is innovative in design, functional and robust. It is easy to assemble and use, and allows you to weave wider pieces, whether you are learning to weave on a loom or already have experience. Two of the most notable features of the Harp Forte are, on the one hand, the brake wheels on both sides of the loom, which help control the tension of the warp threads, and, on the other, the possibility of folding the loom for travel or storage with the warp still mounted inside, without having to finish weaving the piece. It allows a maximum weaving width of 80 cm, can be used with two heddles and has an integrated warping frame so you can choose the warping system. It is a versatile and simple loom for learning to weave and for regular weaving.

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

To keep your loom in excellent condition for many years, we recommend:

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.
