Tapestry Beater — Schacht

Available from Wool Friends when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Tapestry beaters allow you to pack in picks of weft yarn, across an entire row of weaving or in small areas. They're perfect for tapestry looms and other small looms when you're weaving a weft-dominant or weft-faced fabric. The Duet beater comes with interchangeable metal combs, set at 8 ends per inch and 12 ends per inch. To change combs, just loosen the screw in the handle, swap out the comb, and then retighten the screw. Made of hard maple with a smooth Danish oil finish.
