Schacht Standard Floor Loom | 4 or 8 Shafts – 36" or 45" Weaving Width

The Schacht Standard Floor Loom is a versatile and robust jack loom designed for precision, fluid treadling, and lasting stability. Available with 4 or 8 shafts, and in 36" or 45" weaving widths, it’s ideal for dedicated weavers, schools, studios, or production settings.
