What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?
Louet Erica Table Loom - 30cm (12") / 2 Harnesses is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
***Louet Looms could take up to 3 months to ship out (call or email in to receive an estimated ship date)***
The Erica comes in 2 compact sizes, 30cm/12in and 50cm/20in. Your new loom will come standard with 2 shafts or 4 shafts and handles to control them. It will therefore have more possibilities and is easier to operate than a rigid heddle loom.
The Erica will come with 200 heddles and a 40-10 (10 dent) reed. Heddle length for the Erica is 150mm. Extra heddles are available as an optional Item.
The option to expand it to 3 or 4 shafts will make it an even more interesting alternative. There is an optional carrying bag and accessory package that includes a shuttle, warping board and bobbin winder.
Our first response to your order would be to have it shipped directly from our warehouse. In the case that our stock levels are too low, your order may need to be either ordered into our warehouse or dropshipped directly to you from Louet in Canada. Please allow 3-5 business days for them to process and ship out your order before receiving an e-mail with your tracking number. Should your order be backordered with our vendor, one of our customer service representatives will contact you with delays and shipping information.
Please note that Louet drop-ships are sent via UPS or Fedex and typically arrive within 3-5 business days after being shipped. Please provide a physical address for your order as UPS does not send to PO Boxes. Drop-shipping is not available for international orders at this time so please allow time for your order to reach us before we ship it to you.
Please contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your order at (509) 536-7746 or sales@paradisefibers.com.
