FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: How hard is assembly and disassembly?
A: The Presto Loom is engineered to assemble and disassemble quickly without tools — ideal for travel, workshops, classes, or storing between projects.
Q: Does the loom slip on tables while I weave?
A: No — small rubber feet are attached to the metal braces to protect your surface and prevent slipping while you beat your weft.
Q: How do I warp the loom easily?
A: The included Warp Helper Loop acts like an extra pair of hands, holding your dowel rod secure and stable during warping — making direct warping easier for beginners and experienced weavers alike.
Q: What yarn can I use with the 8-dent heddle?
A: The standard 8-dent heddle works well with DK and worsted yarns. Optional reeds (5, 10, 12 dent) can be added for finer or bulkier projects.
Q: What’s special about the Harbor Blue 2026 edition?
A: The Harbor Blue finish is a limited edition color of the year for 2026, available while supplies last and adding a fresh, modern look to your studio.
Q: Is a stand required?
A: A stand is optional. The Presto is stable on most table surfaces, but a stand can enhance comfort during longer weaving sessions. Optional stands are available.
