SAORI SX60 Folding Loom

Compact, folding and portable. Only 23cms in depth when folded. See here.
This beautifully designed two shaft loom comes with an on-board bobbin winder, reed, reed hook, heddle hook, a built in shelf, boat shuttle, bobbins, 400 wire heddles, a foot controlled warp control lever (brake release) to wind on where you sit and a ready-to-go pre-wound warp. This means you can get weaving and creating immediately. (Warp is 30 cms wide x 6 metres)
The loom is operated by two lightweight foot pedals so there is no fiddling with levers to operate the loom, keeping your hands free to focus on colour, weaving and creating. See the detail here. SX60 Folding Loom $1640.00

Extended Features

You can learn to create your own coloured warps or simply purchase additional pre-wound warps which come in a variety of widths to suit clothing, scarves, banners, tablerunners and belts, and a range of lengths – 6, 12,20 and 30 metres. This gives you the ability to weave many items on the same warp.
With the addition of an ‘inside set’ consisting of 2 extra shafts and a reed, you’ll be able to swap over warps at any time enabling two or more people to share the loom with their own separate projects! Great for sharing with a child or friend or in a workshop situation.
Have the option of converting your loom to a four shaft with the additional conversion kit. See below.

Other available models

• SX604H with 4 shafts. A four shaft loom version is available with a  spring system and 6 pedals with easy-to-change tieup. A conversion kit for the two shaft loom can also be purchased. (Note: a pre-wound warp isn’t included as part of the 4 shaft loom)
• SX60H with increased floor to breast beam height. The breast beam is 5cm higher than the SX60 above and has space for second optional warp beam. Good for enjoying double beam weaving effects, for example exploring different tensions in texiles.
