For my workshops I use three types of looms, rigid heddles looms from Kromski, multishaft looms from Louët and inkle looms from Lojan. At the end of the workshop you have the possibility to buy any of these looms at retail price.
Kromski looms
Kromski looms
The Kromski looms are rigid heddle looms made in Poland. They are small, portable and perfect for workshops (I can fit 6 looms easily in my cargo bike so great for the Netherlands). And they are great for bringing on holidays.
Why Kromski?
Why Kromski?
They are well made (like most major brands that sell rigid heddle looms) but I particularly favor the metal ratchet and pawl fitted on both type of looms and they are made in Europe (the other major brands are made in the US or New Zealand).
Louët looms
Louët looms
The Louët Erica loom is a multishaft loom, the one you will be using during the workshop will be equipped with 4 shafts. They are made here in the NL.
Why Louët?
Why Louët?
The reason for choosing them is very similar to the Kromski looms, they are well made table looms (again like most major brands), made in the NL, so could not be more local to me and they too have a metal ratchet and pawl system. I choose the Erica over the Jane, also from Louët, because they were much lighter and therefore ideal for me to carry around for workshops.
Lojan looms
Lojan looms
The Lojan inkle loom are made here in the NL.
Why Lojan?
Why Lojan?
The main reason for choosing them is very similar to the other looms, they are well made looms (again like most major brands), made in the NL and they are very versatile. They can be use to make short or long bands and are easy to use as inkle looms or for card weaving by simply removing a peg.
