Kromski Folding Harp Forte looms from RED BARN FARM
The
Kromski rigid heddle loom does that, with several innovative features. The
Kromski Harp Forte has a warping board integral to its design; turn over the
loom and you can make your warp (five yards plus). When you get ready to travel,
take your Harp with you; it folds to be more compact (with the warp attached)
and fits neatly into the Kromski tote bag (optional). The overall look of
the Harp Forte is also striking; European alder wood with a clear finish,
lots of curves and turned pieces. Your Harp comes with a 8-dent heddle, 2
stick shuttles, a pick-up stick, threading hook, 2 clamps, a warping peg,
warping board pegs and the very helpful “Warp Helper”. The Kromski Tote, extra
heddles, extra heddle blocks (for more complex weaving) and stands are available
separately. Loom sizes: 16", 24" and 32" (actural weaving widths are slightly
smaller). You will weave great music on the Kromski Harp!
Folded,
the Kromski Harp Forte will store easily or allow you to transport it to workshops,
to the cabin in the woods, or to the beach.
The
Kromski loom does double duty as a warping board. Create a small warp or a
large one, but you don't need to purchase extra equipment to do it. For weaving
instructors and stores giving classes, The Harp Forte is the perfect loom
to get students weaving. Each loom has everything a beginner needs for a class.
And when the class is adjourned for a week, or when it is over, let them take
it home as a "keeper."

Harp
Forte Floor Stand For those weavers that do not want to hold their Harp
in the traditional manner (back end propped against a table edge) the
Kromski now have a beautiful floor stand. All the pieces have been turned
so there is shape and contours to everything, making for a striking piece
of woodworking. And note some of the features: your warping pegs (these
come with the loom) can be used as ledges on either side of the loom to
hold shuttles, hold yarn or to keep other supplies handy. The remaining
peg can be conveniently stored at the back of the loom. Use the stand
for weaving, yes, but also for warping, and for storage (your Harp can
be folded on the stand so it takes up less space). We are sure weavers
will find even more ingenious ways to use the Harp floor stand. This stand
can also be used with the Fiddle loom (see below). Suggested retail price
16" Harp floor stand $135.00, 24" Harp floor stand $145.00, 32" Harp floor
stand $155.00. Use the floor stand to hold the loom while warping, even
with a project on the other side Fold the loom while on the stand to save
space. Use the side pegs to hold yarn for your stick shuttles. Use the
side pegs to hold your shuttles.
