A Fully Assembled, Rigid Heddle Loom with Two Scarf Patterns, All Accessories and Instructions
The TabbyandTweed rigid heddle loom, fully assembled and ready to use. No yarn is included. Use your own DK yarn, or add a scarf weaving kit from the shop. Comes with two scarf patterns, a full instruction booklet, and all accessories.
Who This Loom For
This is the loom-only version of the TabbyandTweed rigid heddle loom kit. It is the right choice if:
- You already have DK yarn and want a loom to use it on
- Someone has gifted you a TabbyandTweed scarf weaving kit (yarn and pattern) and you need the loom to go with it
- You want the loom now and plan to choose a yarn and pattern kit separately
- You prefer to save £25–30 compared with the full yarn-and-loom kits and source your own yarn
If you wouldd prefer a kit that includes everything - yarn, pattern and loom then see the TabbyandTweed rigid heddle loom kits.
The Two Included Scarf Patterns
The kit includes two named scarf weaving patterns for use with your own DK yarn:
- Colourblock scarf - a clean, modern design using solid colour blocks. Ideal for using up stash yarn in two or more complementary shades. A natural first project.
- Houndstooth scarf - the classic two-colour geometric check. Requires two colours of DK yarn and produces a more visually complex result than plain weave. A satisfying second project once you’re comfortable with the loom.
Both patterns include suggested yarns, but any DK yarn works with the standard 8epi reed.
Additional scarf weaving kits - including tartan, colour and weave, and rainbow colourways - are available separately in the shop.
What is in the Kit
- Rigid heddle loom - fully assembled, 26cm weaving width, 8epi reed (for DK / double knit yarn)
- 3 shuttles, warping peg, 2 clamps (for securing the loom to a table) and a plastic threading hook
- Instruction booklet with step-by-step images for warping and weaving
- Two scarf weaving patterns: colourblock and houndstooth
No yarn is included. An optional carry bag with internal pockets is available at checkout.
Reed/Heddle Options
The standard kit includes an 8epi heddle, which is ideal for DK (double knit) yarn. At checkout you can also add:
- 10epi reed - for weaving with 4-ply (fingering weight) yarn, producing finer, more detailed fabric
- 6epi reed - for weaving with Aran weight yarn, producing thicker, more textured fabric
All three reeds are fully compatible with this loom and can be swapped as your weaving projects change.
Loom Dimensions
34cm × 39cm × 11cm (heddle up) / 9cm (heddle down). The loom has a neutral heddle position for pick-up stick weaving once you’re ready to explore more complex patterns.

Reviews
I decided that I needed a new hobby as I don't have enough apart from crochet,peg loom weaving,quilting etc. so thought I'd try this. The loom arrived quickly and well packaged. My first try at setting it up took a while to do but the second went quicker,I used the booklet supplied plus YouTube. I am very happy with it ,the weaving itself is very addictive! It is a shame that you don't sell the patterns separately from the wool.
Great little loom, able to start weaving straight away as it was fully assembled. Clear instructions and two free patterns came with the loom, may need to use clamps as the loom is very light. Very pleased with my purchase.
