The Schacht Cricket Looms are for sale in the store and online! The Table Top Loom Weaving Class is being rescheduled due to shipment issues but it will be updated on our calender next week.

From Schacht….“The Cricket Loom is compact, capable and cute! At only 11″ x 18″ x 6″ and just under four pounds, it’s easy to take along. The ten inch weaving width gives plenty of room to make a variety of projects without sacrificing portability.
