The next new product on our list has the weaver's comfort in mind, especially for those with sore joints or hindered hand strength.

 

Introducing the HANDI HANDLE

Get your hand handle now

Don't you just love the name?!

This "handi" tool is designed for weavers with impaired physical strength or limited hand mobility to assist when turning the handles to advance the warp on Ashford looms. The handi handle is simply placed over the existing nylon handle of your loom and turned gently.  This is brilliant for tired or sore or stiff hands!

 


PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend only using sufficient warp tension for your project. Do not over-tighten. Too much tension will make weaving harder, reduce the shed, break warp threads  or could damage your loom. 


Sold individually, the Handi Handles comes in two sizes:

  • HH65 - Handi Handles Small - for Katie, Knitters and SampleIt Looms
HH85 -
  • Handi Handles Large - for Standard Rigid Heddle and Table Looms


The Handi Handles are are available in stock now for just $32. Buy yours here.

 

Last but not least we have another toy for the weavers...
