Why Baby Wolf Is a Weaver Favorite
The Schacht Baby Wolf Loom offers a powerful combination of big-loom performance and compact portability that is perfect for weavers who want flexibility without sacrificing quality. Whether you're creating scarves, table runners, towels, or small throws, the 26" weaving width and stable X-frame design make it a dependable choice for home studios, small spaces, or mobile weaving.
Although this loom offers advanced features for experienced weavers, the Baby Wolf’s jack-loom system and simple X-frame design make it accessible to beginners.
This 4-shaft version weighs around 53 lb; the 8-shaft version about 71 lb. Many fiber artists find they can move it themselves, especially with the optional stroller (caster wheels) accessory. The folding X-frame allows the loom to collapse to an 18″ depth — ideal for studio storage, apartment weaving, or transport for classes.
NOTE: this loom typically ships with a standard 10 or 12 DPI reed unless you message with a request for another size.
