Beaters & Traps

Shop loom beaters and traps for weaving, including tapestry beaters and shuttle traps built for Schacht and LeClerc looms. A tapestry beater helps pack the weft evenly along the warp for a tight, consistent weave, while a trap keeps shuttles and bobbins within easy reach. This selection suits weavers setting up floor looms, rigid heddle looms or dedicated tapestry frames. See also Reeds & Rigid Heddles for more warp-setting tools.

Choosing a Loom Beater or Trap for Weaving

A loom beater is used to pack weft threads firmly against the fell of the cloth, and a trap is a small shelf or holder that keeps shuttles and bobbins close at hand while you weave. Together they help you work faster and keep your weaving tidy, whether you're at a floor loom or a tapestry frame.

Picking the Right Beater

  • Single-ended tapestry beaters are light and precise for detailed tapestry work.
  • Double-ended and weighted tapestry beaters, like the Schacht double-ended tapestry beater, add momentum for packing dense wefts.
  • LeClerc tapestry beaters suit weavers who prefer a wider beating edge for broader tapestries.

Matching a Trap to Your Loom

Traps are generally built for specific loom models, so a Schacht Baby Wolf trap won't fit a Mighty Wolf or Wolf Pup. Checking your loom model before ordering, such as matching a Flip trap to the Flip rigid heddle loom or a Cricket trap to the Cricket loom, ensures a proper fit and keeps your tools organized at the bench. For more warping and threading accessories, see Reeds & Rigid Heddles.
