A rigid heddle loom is a simple type of weaving loom that uses a single heddle to control the warp threads. This design allows for easy and efficient weaving, making it a popular choice for beginners and hobbyists. The heddle consists of a frame with slots and holes, which helps to separate the warp threads and create a shed for passing the weft thread through. These looms are typically compact and portable, making them suitable for small spaces. They can be used to create various woven items, such as scarves, table runners, and blankets, using different yarns and patterns.
