✨✨ NEW ✨✨ Keep weaving tools close at hand with our new Loom Stand Accessory Trays. While earlier loom stands included built-in shelves, our updated designs prioritised adjustability and portability. These new trays bring back that much-missed convenience, without compromising flexibility.

Designed to fit all current model Knitters, Rigid Heddle, and SampleIt loom stands, these sturdy side trays provide a practical space for shuttles, pick-up sticks, tape measures, and other essentials. Each tray also features a slot for scissors or our double-ended threading hook.
