Standard Floor Loom 36 inch 8 Shaft High Castle

Schacht’s Standard Floor Loom has a high castle, available with a 36″ weaving width. The high castle includes a storage tray; you will also appreciate holes drilled in the top of the castle uprights for an extension lamp.

This Standard Floor Looms has 8-shafts. If you have a keen interest in pattern drafting and weave structures, 8 shafts will allow you to fully develop this interest.

The Standard Floor Loom has an underslung jack mechanism to raise the shafts. The jacks pivot from two points equidistant from the center and lift the shafts by pushing up on the center point. We employ a parallel lamm system that gives our looms a light treadling action without any adjustment of tie-up cords.

Our tie-up system is quick and easy to use. Pre-measured nylon tie-up cords hang from the lamms and are attached to a treadle by sliding the appropriate cords into the treadle slot. This makes changing tie-ups very fast.

Other special features of our Standard Floor Looms include: friction-reducing aluminum shaft channels, a back beam that folds with or without a warp on the loom, removable back and breast beams, and an adjustable open-sided beater. Our braking system employs a ratchet and dog on the cloth beam and a friction brake on the warp beam—this combination give you precise tension control at all times.
