Cat Rigid Heddle Kit for Portable Weaving 3D Printed
$40.00
Whether you are a backstrap weaver, a band weaving enthusiast, or a beginner looking for a fun way to learn the basics, this feline friend is ready to help you create beautiful bands, straps, and bookmarks.
Product Highlights
Charming Design: Shaped like a cat’s head in four common cat colours (more to come), featuring cute pink ear insets. It’s a tool that doubles as a conversation starter.
Portable & Lightweight: Precision 3D printed from durable PLA. It is light enough to toss in your project bag for weaving in the park, on the train, or at your local guild meeting.
Complete Mini-Kit: Comes with a matching "Cat & Sparrow" shuttle/beater. The belt shuttle features a bevelled edge for packing down weft and notches for winding your yarn, making it the perfect partner to the heddle.
Versatile Weaving: Ideal for backstrap weaving or band weaving. Create custom shoelaces, bag straps, decorative trim, or bracelets.
How It Works
This is a standalone rigid heddle. You don't need a large, expensive loom to use it.
Warp it up: Thread your warp yarns through the alternating holes and slots (the "teeth" of the cat).
Tension: Tie one end to a doorknob (or clamp) and the other to your belt (backstrap style).
Weave: Lift and lower the cat heddle to create your shed, pass the shuttle through, and beat. Watch your fabric grow!
