Product Overview

The Schacht Cherry Baby Wolf 8-Shaft Loom is one of the most respected mid-size floor looms in the weaving world—renowned for its smooth weaving action, compact footprint, premium American hardwood construction, and professional performance. With an expansive 26-inch weaving width, eight precision-engineered shafts, and Schacht’s celebrated X-brace folding design, the Baby Wolf delivers big-loom capability in a portable, space-efficient frame.

The Schacht Cherry Baby Wolf Loom brings beauty and performance together in a limited-edition masterpiece. Crafted in the USA from rich American cherry hardwood, this compact yet powerful loom offers the same trusted engineering of Schacht's Baby Wolf model—with the added elegance of a deep cherry finish that darkens beautifully over time.

Perfect for tapestry weavers, production weavers, and fiber artists who want the flexibility of eight shafts without committing to a full-size floor loom, this model offers the ideal blend of power and portability.
