What's a Height Extender loom?

If you're taller than 5'6" or have long legs, you'll appreciate the ergonomics of a Height Extender loom. Blocks on the legs raise the loom 2 inches. Height extender looms have longer treadles and a longer brake pedal; they also use height extender tie-ups.

What's a 4 Now-4 Later loom?

This loom can grow with your weaving skills. It's an 8-shaft loom shipped with 4 shafts installed and space to add an additional 4 shafts whenever you wish with our handy 4 Later kit. These looms ship with all the treadles, heddles, and tie-ups normally included with an 8-shaft loom.
