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.
There are many accessories available for Mirrix Looms - ask.
All Mirrix Looms and attachments are excluded from the Volume
Discount Schedule. |
