This 40 cm Kromski Harp Forte loom is innovative in design, robust and functional, with a very fine finish. It is easy to assemble and use. Light and portable, it is suitable both for those starting to weave on a loom and for those who already have weaving 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 make it easier to control the warp tension, and, on the other, the possibility of folding the loom for travelling or storage without having to remove the piece from the loom. It allows you to weave up to a maximum width of 40 cm, to work with two heddles, and includes an integrated warping board so you can choose your preferred warping method. It is a versatile, straightforward loom for experimenting, weaving small pieces and making samples.

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.
