Schacht Floor Looms
Made in Colorado by the Schacht Spindle Company, these looms have been developed for both performance and appearance. They are carefully crafted from hardwoods known for their strength and durability and are shipped to you fully finished and assembled (except for Wolf Pup and Cranbrook). Our Schacht floor looms for sale now all come with a stainless steel reed and stainless steel heddle bars.
We have a page on selecting a loom.
