Schacht’s tapestry beaters are perfect for packing weft yarns, whether across an entire row or in small sections. Each beater is made of hard maple and finished with a smooth Danish oil finish, ensuring both durability and a comfortable grip. Choose from three 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.
Weighted Tapestry Beater
For Dense and Tight Weaving, the Weighted Tapestry Beater includes a built-in weight at the end, approximately five ounces, helping to achieve a firm, tight pack for your weft yarns. The wooden teeth are set at 5 EPI, making it ideal for weft-dominant fabrics, especially when you need to work with thicker yarns or more dense weaving.
Single-Ended Tapestry Beater
Perfect for Delicate, Detailed Weaving, this lightweight, single-ended tapestry beater offers 5 EPI wooden teeth and a simple design, ideal for delicate weaving tasks or when you prefer a more lightweight tool. The Single-Ended Beater is easy to maneuver, providing comfort during extended weaving sessions.
Discontinued: Double-Ended Tapestry Beater, the Double-Ended Tapestry Beater has been discontinued as of January 2025. We recommend the Duet Tapestry Beater as an excellent replacement, offering similar functionality with added versatility.
