This is a simple Ridgid Heddle loom, where the reed can split open to allow for easy warping/stringing. The simple design is my own, I have never seen a "split reed loom" before, but I doubt that I am the first one to come up with this, as the idea is so simple. Oh did I mention that all the complicated parts are 3d printed?
Why split the reed?
If you split the reed open (see pictures above) you can warp/string the loom by just laying the threads where you want them to, quickly change your threading pattern, and fix mistakes. After you are done, you can secure/close the reed again with two bolts or screws.
How big is the loom?
The loom is infinitely expandable in width, and the depth is whatever you want it to be. The loom that I've built is 1 meter wide, and 80 cm deep. It uses eight 6 mm reeds, 4 on the bottom and 4 on the top of the reed. It can make a fabric that is up to ~80 cm wide, depending on how you use the loom.
Which reed should I pick?
There are 3 reeds so far
