Constanza's Loom
by Woodstuffs of NC
Item #CC-002
$100.00
Constanza has agreed to have Woodstuffs build her design. Woodstuffs uses a
higher grade of wood in assorted hardwoods such as oak and maple, instead of
pine and cedar like the old design. Instead of a strange cutout which only
fits one side, the new model uses a tied on dowel rod for the same
effect, without the worry which end it came from or its orientation.
This model is best used for card/tablet weaving
and rigid heddle projects. Inkle done on this loom must be done the old-fashioned
way with the rigid heddle. The heddle shown is 10" long and is sold separately
as is the shuttle.
Widths vary by loom from 6" to 10" . Call Ursula (877) 215-6643 for availability on widths. The
length of the band produced is still up to you. Thickness of yarn and the paper used in winding affect the amount
you can put on. Lengths of 8 yards using #10 crochet cotton are not unusual.

the back edge. It pivots. Move it as needed. Base wood is available in Purpleheart or Cherry.

and lengths available for recycling into shuttles. Since these are totally reclaimed from scrap,

color and sizes available. All have the same basic shape and a nice edge for beating.
Fancy Belt Shuttles and Stick Shuttles
by By My Hand Designs
These are highly polished shuttles made from exotic woods right here in America. All fancy belt
shuttles (in upper half of picture ) are 7.5" long and have the same sharp edge for beating. The shape is designed
so that the thread does not unwind much when you drop it. Stick shuttles (shown in lower half) are 1" wide by 7.5""; long.
Please call us for availability of wood desired. Since these are all handmade, it takes time to replenish
out of stock items.
