Schacht Cricket Quartet

The Cricket Quartet reimagines Schacht's most popular rigid heddle loom, the 15″ Cricket–transforming it into a 4-shaft loom with a 13-1/2″ weaving width. Schacht engineered the Quartet with thoughtful features that help you weave more complex patterns. Closely spaced levers move with smooth action to raise and lower shafts. You’ll achieve clean sheds with help from the extended back beam. The pivot beater maximizes your weaving space. Like all Schacht products, the Cricket Quartet is manufactured in the USA.
