More Shacht Goings On

To celebrate Spinning and Weaving Week a bunch of Schacht Folks spent part of a Saturday demonstrating our products and spinning and weaivng at our favorite LYS Shuttles, Spindles, and Skeins, in Boulder.


Dave, Ladybug builder, posses by one of his recent creations.

Kayla (of spinning wheel land) and Cindy (production manager) demonstrate spinning. Kayla sits at our fabulous Ladybug Spinning wheel--which she soon thereafter sold.

Gail shows how to warp up the Cricket rigid heddle loom--lickety split.

Sneak Preview—The Cricket Student Loom

I’ve been playing around with crickets. Not the insect, but our new Schacht Cricket Student Loom. We’ve designed this nifty, compact little loom for the school market, but I think any weaver who wants a compact loom to take along will love weaving on this honey of a loom. I even wove (always pushing the deadline) in the car last week on my way to visit Brown Sheep in Mitchell, Nebraska.

This loom will come with all the equipment needed for weaving, including shuttle, threading hook, warping peg, table clamps, and instructions. We should have The Cricket ready to ship this fall, in plenty of time for holiday gift giving.
