Accessories
FOR TAPESTRY WEAVING
The Shasta Combs (Classic Series Loom)
These combs essentially turn a Mirrix Loom into a simple frame loom (read: very simple to use) but with the amazing Mirrix tensioning system and the ability to use the Mirrix shedding device. The combs are not meant to replace our current warping system, which offers the advantage of putting on a warp that is longer than the loom itself as well as a variety of warp setts, but to provide an additional warping method that is very fast and simple. The Shasta Combs can also allow one to weave a tapestry/fiber piece (of limited lengths) with no warp-ends to finish.
The Mirrix Stand (Classic Series Loom)
Make your Mirrix just like a portable floor loom with the Mirrix Sitting/Standing Loom Stand.
Bottom Spring Kit (Classic Series Loom)
While we don’t usually recommend a bottom spring kit for most tapestry weaving, those who weave small-scale tapestry, ie: tapestry where you’re using more than 20 ends per inch, find it helpful. It functions to organize your warp on the bottom beam while you’re warping.
Loom Extenders (Classic Series Loom)
If you have a 12″, 16″ or 22″ loom and want to weave something longer than is possible on that loom, loom extenders are the perfect solution. From belts to guitar straps, these nifty extenders add between 13″ and 24″ of length to a loom.
Add-On Bottom Beam (Classic Series Loom)
If you want more space between your front and back warps (note: not a larger shed), this accessory is for you.
Extra Shedding Device (Classic Series Loom)
Adding a second shedding device to your Mirrix will allow you to use techniques in your tapestry weaving such as twill weave, basket weave and tabby weave. These fancy and fun techniques will take your tapestry weaving to the next level.
Extra Warping Bar Kit
(Classic Series Loom)Worried about wasting warp? This kit gives you an extra warping bar, eliminating warp from the back of your loom. It also allows you to more easily get your hand behind your weaving since there is only one layer of warp.
Swing-Out Loom Treasure Tray (Classic Series Loom)
One of the joys of a Mirrix Loom is its portability. Even our largest looms are small enough to be moved from room to room and our smaller looms are perfect for on-the-go weaving. Now, you can make your weaving setup even more portable with our Swing-Out Loom Treasure Trays. These trays attach to the threaded rod on either side of a Classic Series Mirrix Loom and are perfect for holding bobbins, yarn, beads, scissors, needles or anything else you want to keep close by.
The Chloe Loom Stand (Pocket Loom)
The Chloe Loom Stand is a removable stand for the Chloe Pocket Loom. It props the loom up at angle and comes with two rubber feet for the bottom of the loom. For the 5" and 8" looms, the stand comes with one leg, for the 10" loom, the stand comes with two legs.
Add-On Threaded Rods (Pocket Loom)
All four of these threaded rods can be used with the Chloe Loom or the Saffron Loom (no longer sold.) They will also have different maximum weaving lengths, depending on which loom you pair them with because the Chloe and Saffron Looms are made up of different materials.
FOR BEAD WEAVING
The No Warp-Ends Kit (Classic Series Loom)
We’re always looking for ways to make weaving easier, and we found a great way to avoid having to finish those pesky ends when weaving beads! The No Warp-Ends Kit, available in our online store, is easy to use and is perfect for beginners and experts alike. Try weaving wire with this kit, too.

The Bottom Spring Kit (Classic Series Loom)
The bottom spring kit is an add-on accessory that attaches to the bottom beam of your loom. This warp coil helps organize your warps at the bottom of the loom, just as your warps are organized at the top. It is great for wide bead weavings, especially when you’re using the shedding device. If you are using the bottom spring kit, warping is exactly the same except you place your warps in the bottom spring exactly how you do so on the top springs. It is available with warp coils (because you’ll need a matching warp coil to the one you’re using at the top of your loom), with specific warp coils (for example, this one comes with two ten dent warp coils) or without warp coils (and then you can just choose which ones you need).
Loom Extenders (Classic Series Loom)
If you have a 12″, 16″ or 22″ loom and want to weave something longer than is possible on that loom, loom extenders are the perfect solution. From belts to guitar straps, these nifty extenders add between 13″ and 24″ of length to a loom.
Add-On Bottom Beam (Classic Series Loom)
If you want more space between your front and back warps (note: not a larger shed), this accessory is for you. This is perfect for those who weave wide bead pieces using the traditional method because you can easily get your hand behind the warp to hold the beads in place.
Extra Warping Bar Kit (Classic Series Loom)
Worried about wasting warp? This kit gives you an extra warping bar, eliminating warp from the back of your loom. Because it also eliminates having a layer of warp on both the front and back of the loom, it allows you to better position your hand for weaving wider pieces with the traditional method of bead weaving.
Swing-Out Loom Treasure Tray (Classic Series Loom)
One of the joys of a Mirrix Loom is its portability. Even our largest looms are small enough to be moved from room to room and our smaller looms are perfect for on-the-go weaving. Now, you can make your weaving setup even more portable with our Swing-Out Loom Treasure Trays.
