Kromski Presto Rigid Heddle Looms are shipped directly from Kromski's Georgia-based warehouse (to you or to us!) ~ see more details below on availability and shipping expectations.
The Kromski Presto Rigid Heddle Loom is available in warping widths of 10" and 16" and comes in unfinished Alder wood with an 8 dent heddle. This striking design offers a raised metal beam for a beautiful weaving area. Each of the metal braces on the underside of the loom are adorned with small rubber ‘stoppers’ that not only protect the top of your work surface, but also help to prevent the loom from slipping as you weave. The Presto also includes a new Warp Helper Loop which provides perfect stability between the heddle and the dowel rod while warping the loom. This simple addition acts as an extra set of hands, making the warping process a breeze. The Presto features the same metal ratchet and pawl with corresponding rare earth magnets which provide incredibly secure tension locking abilities.
Like to take your loom with you when you go? You’ll love the way this breaks down for travel. Simply remove the beams and the braces, rotate the heddle blocks and “presto!”, you have a flat loom that is easy to transport. Each loom package includes the loom and everything you need to begin weaving right away!
The Presto Rigid Heddle Loom scones with the loom, one 8 dent heddle, two stick shuttles, one pick-up stick, two warping clamps, one warping peg, one unique threading hook, and warp helper loops. You can purchase (separately) additional accessories for the Presto Rigid Heddle Loom like a Floor Stand, Carrying Bag, additional heddles/sizes, and replacement parts like clamps and threading hooks.

Kromski equipment that we do not keep in-stock in-shop ships to the Wild Hand shop for Local Pick-up (FREE) or directly to your home for a shipping rate determined based on your location and order size. While Kromski is indeed based in Poland, US orders are shipped from Georgia and it generally takes less than one week to arrive from the time your order is fulfilled. Not all Kromski products are in-stock at all times; you may contact the shop for the most up-to-date estimated shipping date before placing your order and/or we will contact you after you place your order to confirm the ship date based on Kromski's most up-to-date information. If you order other non-Kromski items in the same order those will ship (or be available for pick-up) separately and on our usual shipping schedule.
