Kromski Presto Loom Assembly Instructions (pdf)

The Presto is available in warping widths of 10 and 16 inches and comes in unfinished Alder wood (and select limited edition colors!) with an 8-dent heddle. This striking design offers a raised metal beam for a beautiful weaving area. Each of the metal braces on the underside of the loom are adorned with small rubber ‘stoppers’ that not only protect the top of your work surface, but also help to prevent the loom from slipping as you weave. The Presto also includes a new Warp Helper Loop which provides perfect stability between the heddle and the dowel rod while warping the loom. This simple addition acts as an extra set of hands, making the warping process a breeze. The Presto features the same metal ratchet and pawl with corresponding rare earth magnets which provide incredibly secure tension locking abilities.

Like to take your loom with you when you go? You’ll love the way this breaks down for travel. Simply remove the beams and the braces, rotate the heddle blocks and “presto!”, you have a flat loom that is easy to transport. Each loom package includes the loom and everything you need to begin weaving right away.

And as an extra treat, each loom comes with a skein of hand dyed, DK weight yarn and instructions to complete a first scarf project. Each skein is dyed especially for the Presto Scarf in our North America office. Kromski has chosen a lovely soft superwash merino yarn, dyed in a plethora of colors. The colors change regularly. Let us surprise you with our choice! This is a scarf that you will be delighted to wear, and when your friends ask where you got it, you can say with pride “I made it on my Kromski Presto Loom!"

Embracing Nature:  The Presto loom is crafted from highly sustainable Alder wood. To minimize our carbon footprint and support our local community, we source our wood from local farm (up to 50km from our workshop). Alder is prized for its light tan to reddish-brown hues and uniform texture. Because we work with a natural living material, variations are a part of every piece.

Customers should anticipate that our Unfinished (U) or Finished (F) products may have darker areas or flecks of deep reddish-brown. These are not flaws or weaknesses, but natural occurrences typical in wood. We believe these variations bring out the true, organic beauty of the wood, making every Kromski product unique.
