Warping Your Cricket Quartet

The Cricket Quartet is your stepping stone to new weaving possibilities! In this video, we will show you step-by-step how to warp your Cricket Quartet! From winding your warp on a peg set and warping board to sleying the reed to threading the heddles and more, this video will help you get your Quartet ready to weave on. You will be up and weaving in no time! Learn all about the possibilities you have with the Cricket Quartet by joining our FREE online course, "Getting Started with the Cricket Quartet" at our School of Textile Arts! https://textileschool.schachtspindle.com/courses/getting-started-with-the-cricket-quartet If you don't know where to start, check out our latest video, "How To Weave On Your Cricket Quartet!" We will show you how to weave a plain weave and a straight twill. https://youtu.be/POPUKPTZscA Have questions? E-mail us at info@schachtspindle.com! We are happy to answer any questions you have. The Quartet re-imagines our most popular rigid heddle loom, the 15" Cricket and transforms it into a 4-shaft loom with a 13-1/2" weaving width. We engineered the Quartet with thoughtful features that help you weave more complex patterns. Closely spaced levers move with smooth action to raise and lower shafts. You'll achieve clean sheds with help from the extended back beam. The pivot beater maximizes your weaving space. In keeping with Schacht's commitment to quality, the Cricket Quartet is manufactured in the USA, made from high-quality maple plywood and solid hard maple, and left unfinished to match your Cricket loom. The Cricket Quartet is now available to order through a Schacht dealer or online through the Schacht website: https://schachtspindle.com/product/cricket-quartet-2/ For a closer look at the Cricket Quartet, the Cricket loom, and the Cricket stand click on the links below.
