Kromski Harp Rigid Heddle Weaving Loom – Folding Loom in 4 Widths (Free UK Shipping)
The Kromski Harp is a beautiful, affordable and incredibly versatile rigid heddle loom – and one of my absolute favourites to recommend. It’s easy to set up, beginner-friendly and folds away neatly, so you can start weaving within minutes and still pack it up when life needs the table back!
Weave your own scarves, shawls, jackets, cushions, wall hangings and more using your handspun yarns or that cherished knitting stash. This loom is ideal whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced weaver looking for a portable, feature-rich rigid heddle.
And the best bit? It comes with free mainland UK shipping and an incredibly generous set of accessories – it’s honestly one of the most complete rigid heddle packages on the market.
Why I Love the Kromski Harp
-
Folding & portable
The Harp folds up quickly, even with your warp on the loom, so you can take your weaving to meet friends, to workshops, on holiday or simply tuck it under the bed when you’re done. You can also hang it on the wall as instant studio decor and inspiration. -
Beautifully made
Hand crafted from clear-finished European alder wood, with lovely turned details and accents reminiscent of a real harp. It feels solid, smooth and very “proper loom”, without being intimidating. -
Beginner-friendly but not limiting
Easy direct warping, intuitive shedding with the rigid heddle, and plenty of room to grow – from simple scarves to double-width weaving, patterning and even small rugs. -
Two warping options built in
Choose between direct warping with a simple clamp-on warping peg or use the built-in warping board on the back of the loom.
Built-In Warping Board – A Genius Extra
This is one of my favourite features. Flip the loom over, insert the 12 included warping pegs into the pre-drilled holes, and suddenly you have a full warping board.
-
Create long warps suitable for blankets, throws and larger projects.
-
Warp without pacing up and down your living room with a single peg.
-
Save money – a separate warping board of this size alone would usually cost a good chunk extra.
When you’re done, simply remove the pegs and store them neatly with your loom.
Strong Tension for Serious Weaving
The Harp uses metal ratchet and pawl mechanisms, so you can tension your warp firmly and reliably. This is brilliant for:
-
Standard fabrics for scarves, shawls and garments
-
Higher tension projects such as simple tapestries
-
Occasional small rugs and sturdy pieces
It’s a lovely loom to grow into as you get more adventurous.
Choose Your Weaving Width
The Kromski Harp comes in four weaving widths, so you can choose the size that best matches your projects and space:
-
8" – perfect for scarves, narrow bands, table runners and sampling
-
16" – great all-round size for scarves, shawls, wraps and small homewares
-
24" – ideal for wider wraps, baby blankets, cushion panels and small throws
-
32" – fantastic for bigger blankets, wider yardage and larger projects
Each size has the same clever folding design and built-in warping board – you just choose how wide you want to weave.
Optional Accessories & Compatibility
You can expand your Harp as your weaving adventure continues:
-
Additional rigid heddles in a range of dents per inch (from very open to fine)
-
Loom stand (sold separately) for floor-standing weaving
-
Tote bag for travel and storage
-
Extra stick shuttles and pick-up sticks
-
Second heddle blocks (included on the loom!) so you can add a second heddle for:
-
Double-width weaving
-
Pockets and tubes
-
More complex patterns
-
A lovely bonus: Ashford reeds are also compatible, so if you already own some, you can use them with your Harp.
There are also plenty of free tutorial videos online specifically for this loom, which makes learning even easier.
