Second Heddle Option
All standard rigid heddle looms (RH400, RH600, RH800 and RH1200) will come with the second heddle sideposts included.
Having a second heddle allows you the flexibility to weave double width, double layer, double density fabrics as well as allowing you to do exciting patterns and techniques like "Theo Moorman".
Indirect Warping Option
All standard rigid heddle looms will have holes drilled in the bottom of the rails so you can use your loom as a warping frame for the indirect warping method.
You can purchase a set of Rigid Heddle Warping Pegs if you wish to use your loom in this way. There are 14 pegs included in the set, this will allow you to choose a variety of warp lengths.
Some benefits of indirect warping are the flexibility to use one thread of one colour, it saves space, even warp lengths, better tension control.
The approximate maximum warp lengths for each size loom are:
- RH400 - Rigid Heddle 40cm (16") - 4.7m (15.5')
- RH600 - Rigid Heddle 60cm (24") - 6.7m (22')
- RH800 - Rigid Heddle 80cm (32") - 8.7m (28.5')
- RH1200 - Rigid Heddle 120cm (48") - 12.7m (41.5')
