WEAVING: Mirrix Tapestry Looms

|
These American-made looms are precision engineered
from aluminum, copper and steel; sturdy to work on, designed to
last pretty much forever. They are light-weight and very well balanced.
The shedding device consists of three rods: a thicker one with
two thinner steel ones attached. The thinner ones hold the string
heddles through which the warp threads pass. A handle rocks the
device back and forth, producing two clean sheds.
The looms come with written instructions, and they are all available
as PDFs on the Mirrix web-site.
|
| For the 12" and 16" looms only, there are
loom extenders, 14" steel extensions to the vertical bars that
add at least two feet of weaving length. Continuous single-eye heddles
are a hundred long-lasting heddles in one length. Extra coils can
be ordered, ask. |
All Mirrix Looms and attachments
are excluded from the Volume Discount Schedule. |
