Next 3 pictures shows it with the heddle and warp style that comes with the standard loom.
Made of hard maple, this beginner's weaving loom comes fully assembled with a pre-warped heddle. A basic project is started on the loom, and is ready for weaving. We include enough "warp" to weave a 3 - 4 foot long strip of fabric, and enough "weft" to see how the loom works. To complete the starter project, the weaver will need to provide their own "weft" yarn, which can be almost anything (including yarn left over from other projects).
The warp wraps around the block in the back, then slides into a slot to hold the warp taunt. The front beam is a clamp, much like you see on back strap loom. Clamp the front of your warp, and weave away. When you want to advance your warp, unwrap from the back block, then open the front clamp and pull the finished section of weaving through. Clamp tight, and continue to weave.
The loom's instructions move through how to weave the rest of the project, then go step-by-step through planning and retailer starting another project. Weaving can be started as soon as the loom is out of its box, just remember you will need to add your own yarn to continue weaving the entire warp! This loom is very similar to a back strap loom or band weaving (only with a frame). Weave projects up to 4" wide X 3 yards long.
The assembled loom measures 6" wide X 21-1/2" long, and comes with one shuttle. Weight 3 lbs.
