Norse Inspired Rigid Heddle Loom (Pre-Order)

Measurments section : No measurements required.

Inspired by the sleek aesthetic of 11th-century Scandinavian dragon-head carvings, this tool is a bridge between archaeological finds and modern craftsmanship.

As archaeological finds show, rigid heddle looms were already used by the Romans and are also documented for the Middle Ages.
At least two of such simple looms from the 12th to 13th and 13th to 14th centuries were found during excavations.

There is also a grave find dating to the middle of the late 11th century, in which the clothing has been preserved and in which the borders were partially woven with a weaving frame.

Why choose this loom? While tablet weaving can be complex, the rigid heddle loom is the perfect "entry point" for creating authentic medieval borders and belts. It’s documented across Europe from Roman times through the Middle Ages, making it a versatile addition to any reenactor's kit.

Design: Inspired by Viking Age aesthetics with a sturdy acacia finish.
