Harvest what you craft — rigid heddle projects

The Heddler, A flexible table loom

The Heddler, A flexible table loom

The simple table loom to take around.  The Heddler. Works with other heddles or tablets. It is simple and holds a fair amount of warp.

 

Here is a great review of it that a customer C.A. from Australia said:

Simple and ingenious design to make a versatile loom that will allow regular rigid heddle cloth to be woven, or for band weaving. It arrives as a kit that takes about 10 minutes to assemble with a philips head screwdriver, and its good to go. It is a bit longer than looms of this size generally are, and it has back and front beams as well as warp and cloth beams, and best of all, it will take card/tablet weaving as well as the various ethnic band-weaving styles from the Baltic, the Andes and Asia, and there is plenty of room for hand manipulation of warp and weft. Tension is provided by a thick rubber washer, and its easy to release to advance the warp. Its a well-thought out general purpose loom for those who love hands-on weaving and a great addition to my weaving tools!

Here is one example of some shoelaces I wove for Christmas presents.  Everyone has belts, key chains, hat trims, jacket trims etc, but they sure did not see shoelaces coming!  It was the narrowest band I had made so felt dainty in the hands while weaving.   Results none the less, a strong band into laces.
