Is an eight shaft table loom good for beginners?
Yes, an eight shaft table loom can be great for beginners! It allows weavers to start simple and gradually experiment with more complex patterns as they gain confidence. The extra shafts provide flexibility for trying a wide variety of weave structures without needing to upgrade equipment later on.
What are the benefits of the added shuttle race?
The shuttle race adds stability when throwing the shuttle, especially at higher speeds, making weaving smoother and more efficient. It helps ensure consistent tension and reduces strain, which can be especially beneficial for beginners learning proper technique.
