Designed for weavers who value both functionality and aesthetic appeal, Schacht’s tapestry beaters are perfect for packing weft yarns, whether across an entire row or in small sections. Each beater is meticulously crafted from hard maple and finished with a smooth Danish oil finish, ensuring both durability and a comfortable grip. Choose from three innovative designs tailored to your weaving needs.
Duet Tapestry Beater
Versatility at its best
The Duet Tapestry Beater comes with interchangeable metal combs, allowing you to choose between 8 ends per inch (EPI) and 12 EPI. This flexibility makes it perfect for both finer and heavier yarns. To change the combs, simply loosen the screw in the handle, swap the comb, and retighten the screw—offering ultimate convenience while weaving.
