The Vari-dent system: complete weaving freedom
Each loom includes a segmented rigid heddle made up of interchangeable reed sections. By replacing selected segments with different dent sizes, you can create a wide variety of sett combinations, textures and fabric effects on a single loom.
Additional reed segments are available in multiple dent sizes, allowing you to customize your setup for every project.

Whenever you're ready to explore shaft weaving, simply add a Lojan conversion kit to transform your Flex into a 4-shaft or even an 8-shaft loom, while keeping the same frame and many of the same accessories.
It's an investment that lets your loom evolve as your skills develop.
