Lojan Rigid Heddle Loom 70 cm

More Weaving Width, the Trusted Lojan System

The Lojan Rigid Heddle Loom 70 cm is the choice for those who want to weave wider: broad scarves, table runners, generous shawls, or first fabrics for clothing projects — at 70 cm weaving width, you can create textiles that simply aren't possible on narrower frames.

The setup and operation are largely identical to the Lojan Flex — anyone familiar with the Flex will feel at home immediately. The side panels are adapted for this weaving width; the depth of the frame remains the same.
Important: This frame is designed exclusively as a rigid heddle loom; expansion to a table loom is not possible. In return, it offers this weaving width at an attractive price.

Key Features

• Vari-Dent Reed (30/10 included)
  The included reed frame works with interchangeable segments — densities from 10/10 to 60/10 can be freely combined. Different densities can be mixed within the same reed, ideal for projects with varying yarn weights. Additional segments are available separately.
• Ready for a Second Reed
  The reed frame profile reduces deflection and keeps segments securely in position even under higher warp tension. A second reed frame can be added later — enabling techniques like pick-up patterns, double weave, or Brooks Bouquet. The additional reed frame is available separately.
• Back Beam and Breast Beam for Stable Warp Path
  As with the Lojan Flex, the back beam (rear) and breast beam (front) ensure an even thread path and a comfortable warp tension while weaving. This improves both the weaving feel and the evenness of the finished fabric.
• Kit in Solid Beech and Beech Plywood, Untreated
  You can finish the frame with oil, wax, or varnish as desired. The foldable design allows compact storage — folded only 13 cm deep — and easy transport to classes or workshops.
• Complete Set — Ready to Start
  Everything you need to get started is included, along with detailed instructions for assembly and first weaving projects.

Why This Loom?

• The right width for large projects: Scarves, stoles, table runners, simple clothing fabrics — 70 cm opens up project categories not possible on narrower frames.
• The trusted Lojan system: Anyone who knows the Flex will feel immediately at home. The same operating logic, the same Vari-Dent reed.
• Flexible in yarn weight: The modular reed allows different yarn weights and densities — even mixed within a single reed.
• Solid and durable: Solid beech, back beam, and breast beam for stable, even tension — for years of weaving enjoyment.
• Foldable despite large width: Folded only 13 cm deep — easy to store or take to a workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference from the Lojan Flex?
The most important difference is the weaving width: 70 cm instead of 30 or 50 cm. The 70 cm frame also cannot be expanded to a table loom. The operating logic, Vari-Dent system, and basic principles are identical. For the option to expand later to 4 or 8 shafts, the Lojan Flex is the right choice.

Can this loom be expanded to a table loom?
No. The 70 cm frame is designed as a pure rigid heddle loom. Those who want to expand to multiple shafts later should choose the Lojan Flex (in 30 and 50 cm widths).

Who is this loom suitable for?
For anyone seeking more weaving width — whether beginners with ambitious projects in mind or experienced weavers who want to weave scarves, stoles, or fabrics at full width.

Which weaving techniques are possible?
Plain weave, leno lace, and soumak are possible from the start. With a pick-up stick or second reed, float patterns, Brooks Bouquet, double weave, and many more techniques become available.

Can I combine different yarn weights in one project?
Yes. The modular Vari-Dent reed allows segments of different densities to be combined in one frame — enabling different densities and yarn weights in the same project.
