Review: Money Well Invested - After reviewing several books on Rigid Heddle Looms, I decided on this one, and I am glad I did. It is beautiful, well made, and easy to use. I read the reviews here on desertcart, and I will address a few issues based on my personal experience. First, Syne Mitchell (author of Inventive Weaving) states she likes it but finds it too lightweight for the amount of tension she likes to use. I suspect she is confusing weight with hardness and stiffness. This loom is made of European Alder (Alnus Gutinosa). While it is lightweight and has properties that make it easy to shape, the Janka Hardness rating is 650 lb/square inch and the Elastic rupture modulus is 11,000 lb/square inch. I am 6ft 4inches, 200lbs and an athlete, and I still do not see myself flexing this frame, particularly with the metal brace and hinge mechanism. While a small detail, this metal piece is cleverly designed not only to work as a hinge, but also easily doubles the strength of the loom at the stress point. The "L" shape of this piece is also clever, as it not only makes it easy to use, but also adds support to prevent lateral stress issues. Second, mine came with metal pawls, so wearing out plastic ones is not an issue. The use of neodymium magnets (small, powerful, and not cheap) to keep the pawls out of the way when they are not in use is also a very clever engineering addition. The assembly instructions. Mine were now in color and seemed improved from what I previously read. That said, for people without any experience assembling things, there could be some challenges. Two things to pay close attention to that are not obvious. First, the forward beam and the forward hole on the right have a small "F" sticker on them. Pay attention to that. Second, the lateral beams (the harp curved pieces) have the "Kromski" logo on the outside and forward pieces. Finally, the opening for the heddle blocks face forward and the blocks just barely overlap the BACK of the metal brace where the closed hinge is. These orientation markers should make it easy to assemble properly. The only complaint I have about assembly was the four outer covers for the beams. The pilot holes in the beams themselves were small, and screwing them in place was took some physical strength. Ironically, this should serve as a testimonial to the strength and hardness of the wood despite its light weight. If you are a smaller person, it may be useful to drill them about 50% wider. Do NOT make them too big, or the screw will not have any wood to bite into. If you are worried this is a big project, it should take less than 5 minutes from start to finish. If you are a larger person like me, you will be able to screw them in, just use good technique and be careful not to strip the screws. In sum, I feel this was money well spent. The loom is exceptionally well-engineered, and is beautiful enough to be placed in any room proudly. Take your time and assemble it carefully. This is not just a loom, it is an heirloom.
Review: Love this loom - First off, I am a brand new weaver although I have done many other types of handcrafting/needlework. I am very happy with this loom. The 8 dent heddle that is included is perfect for working with the yarn I have on hand as I learn how to weave. It's beautiful and well-made. I was prepared to use an online video for assembly instructions as has been suggested by others but found the included instructions easy to follow. At first I found the long shuttles included rather daunting but soon got the hang of them and really appreciate not having to reload them often and as I move to wider projects they will be perfect for the size of the loom. Some people have said this is too big to use against a table but the wrong size stand was included with my order (an issue that was happily resolved very quickly by the seller, Fiber Arts Depot) so I wound up using it against my dining room table for my first project.. It worked very well that way but I do prefer using it with the stand. I've had the loom 6 days and have made 2 scarves and a set of 4 scrubby dish cloths so far. I am pleasantly surprised with how quickly I am able to weave items. Kromski has links to helpful videos and tips on their site that are helpful for new weavers such as myself.

## Features

- If you are new to weaving, proceed with confidence as the Harp will prepare you for a lifetime of weaving - what you learn on a Harp all carries forward to a larger loom
- warping board integral to its design: turn over the loom and you can make your warp (five yards plus). Purchased separately, a warping board will set you back about $70; with the Harp it is part of your package.
- take your Harp with you: it folds (with warp attached) and fits neatly into the Kromski tote bag. People in mobile homes and boats use the compact Harp because it travels and stores so well.
- finished wood & striking overall look: European alder wood with a clear finish, lots of curves and turned pieces. Many other rigid heddle looms lack a finish (just bare wood) or charge you more for a finish. Don't compare prices with an unfinished product. You want a finish on the wood for long term protection.
- Complete set-up: your Harp comes with a 8-dent heddle, 2 stick shuttles, a pick-up stick (read about the use of a pick-up stick and see how it will add to your weaving projects), threading hook, 2 clamps, a warping peg, warping board pegs and the very helpful "Warp Helper". Just add the yarn. No other rigid heddle loom comes packaged with everything.

### ⭐⭐ Purchase 32" received 24"
*by S***. on January 25, 2024*

Its 10pm on my first day off since receiving my purchase. Im expecting to enjoy my beautiful new loom (quality is excellent) that Ive spent several hundred dollars on and the additional money for materials. The loom is beautiful but I made the mistake of not measuring it before I assembled it. I started warping it tonight and found their mistake. Now I'm expected to disassemble it pack and get it to a ups store (I don't live near one) all before they will send what I paid for. I'm waiting to hear from the seller. Disappointed, angry and frustrated to say the least. If customer service makes this right I will definitely update this review.
