Schacht Announces New Wolf Pup LT Loom

 

Our popular Wolf Pup loom is now available with lamms and 6 treadles (hence the “LT”). The lamms allow any shaft to be tied to any treadle, making four shaft patterns even easier to weave than before. The Wolf Pup LT also sports our new quick-release back beam that is a new feature of all of our Wolf looms. Now, the back beam can be quickly removed for threading the heddles without impacting the brake system. We will continue to produce our original Wolf Pup with direct tie-up—which makes it a fabulous teaching loom.

The Wolf Pup LT started shipping March 1, 2010. Retail price $1185.

 

Retro-fit kits are not available for the back beam or original Wolf Pup.

Schacht Spindle Company Launches The Cricket Club

 

Last fall, Schacht Spindle Company introduced a new rigid heddle loom called The Cricket Loom. As the smallest and most portable loom in the rigid heddle family, The Cricket quickly became a hit.

With its popularity cemented, Schacht turned to answer the most popular question everyone seems to be asking: “What can I weave on my Cricket Loom other than scarves?”  Enter The Cricket Club.

The Cricket Club was formed on Ravelry, and can be found at http://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-cricket-club. All are welcome to join. The goal was to create a gathering place for Cricket Loom weavers to share their projects and ideas. Additionally, special projects are being designed by several Schacht Spindle Company employees including Jane Patrick to be released to Cricket Club members in the coming months.

 

Schacht Spindle Company, Inc. has been designing quality handweaving and handspinning equipment in Boulder, Colorado since 1969.
