Available in 30 cm / 12", 50 cm / 20", and 70 cm / 27.5" weaving widths, this loom family gives weavers a flexible path for scarves, towels, runners, fabric panels, shawls, samples, and wider rigid heddle projects. The 30 cm and 50 cm Flex models are part of Lojan’s expandable Flex system and can be converted later into 4-shaft or 8-shaft weaving with optional conversion kits. The 70 cm / 27.5" model offers a wider rigid heddle weaving width with the same familiar style of setup, but it is designed as a rigid heddle loom rather than a shaft-convertible Flex frame. Choose the Width That Fits Your Weaving 30 cm / 12": A compact choice for sampling, narrow scarves, bands, small textiles, teaching, travel, and weavers working in limited space. 50 cm / 20": A versatile middle size for scarves, towels, runners, fabric panels, wider samples, and everyday rigid heddle weaving. 70 cm / 27.5": A wider rigid heddle option for larger scarves, shawls, wider panels, table textiles, and projects that need more weaving width while keeping the loom compact and practical. If multi-shaft expansion is part of your long-term plan, choose the 30 cm or 50 cm Flex model. If your priority is wider rigid heddle weaving, the 70 cm model gives you more weaving width in a still-manageable frame.

Modular Vari-Dent Heddle System The Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Loom uses a modular 30/10 rigid heddle, also called 7.5 dpi. Instead of one fixed reed, the heddle is built from removable segments that can be added, removed, or replaced with other densities when compatible segments are purchased separately. This modular system is useful when you want to work with different yarn sizes, plan mixed-density warps, or experiment with texture across the weaving width. A second rigid heddle can also be added with an additional heddle frame and segments, making it easier to explore double-heddle weaving techniques when you are ready. Standard included heddle density: 30/10 metric, approximately 7.5 dpi Additional segment densities available separately: 10/10, 20/10, 30/10, 40/10, 50/10, and 60/10 Approximate imperial equivalents: 2.5 dpi, 5 dpi, 7.5 dpi, 10 dpi, 12.5 dpi, and 15 dpi Additional heddle segments are sold separately in packs of 5 Each segment is approximately 2 cm / 3/4" wide Expandable Flex System: 30 cm and 50 cm Models The 30 cm and 50 cm Flex rigid heddle looms can grow with your weaving interests. Start with rigid heddle weaving, then add an optional 4-shaft or 8-shaft conversion kit later if you want to work with shaft weaving, more complex drafts, or multi-shaft structures. These models can also be returned to rigid heddle mode, giving you a lighter, simpler setup when that better fits your project. This makes the 30 cm and 50 cm Flex sizes especially useful for weavers who want one compact loom frame with more than one possible weaving path. Important note: The 70 cm / 27.5" model is a wide rigid heddle loom. It is prepared for a second rigid heddle, but it is not listed by Lojan as a 4-shaft or 8-shaft convertible Flex frame. Practical Design for Comfortable Rigid Heddle Weaving Support brackets let you position the loom at an angle on a table or rest it along the table edge for lap weaving. Foldable rigid heddle supports collapse and secure for storage and transport. Back and breast beams help support steadier warp tension and clearer sheds. The compact folded profile makes the loom easier to store between projects. The unfinished beech and beech plywood construction allows you to use the loom as-is or apply your own preferred finish. The modular heddle setup gives weavers more flexibility than a single fixed-density reed.

The wood is unfinished, allowing you to choose your own finish if desired. The 30 cm and 50 cm models are the shaft-convertible Flex sizes. The 70 cm model is a wider rigid heddle loom and is not described by Lojan as a shaft-convertible Flex frame. Additional heddle frames, heddle segments, stands, pick-up sticks, shuttles, and conversion kits are sold separately when available. For mixed-density projects, sampling is recommended so you can confirm sett, yarn behavior, and fabric hand before weaving a larger piece. If you are choosing a loom for a specific project width, leave room for draw-in when planning your warp. Optional Accessories Optional accessories help you adapt the loom to your weaving style, project size, and future goals.

The 70 cm model is the best fit when you want a wider rigid heddle loom for larger projects without moving into a full floor loom or shaft loom setup. Choose the width that fits your space, project plans, and long-term weaving goals.
