​
April 12, 2025 - With great regret, effective immediately, we have been compelled to close our doors, as newly instituted - and unpredictable - import tariffs have driven us past the last point of ability to financially continue making Kairos Inkle Looms.
May 19, 2025 - BUT WAIT . . . GONE . . . BUT NOT GONE! READ WHAT FOLLOWS!!
​
You’ve just read the terrible news that due to new import taxes we cannot afford to continue to make and sell our extraordinary Kairos inkle looms.
However … now for a very special announcement!
WHAT - Although we no longer make these extraordinary looms, we will be making our detailed (step-by-step) professional production plans available, so anyone can bring this same extraordinary quality and advanced inkle loom technology into their narrow band weaving world as an authorized replica. This includes our unique patent pending ‘Fingers Free’ shed opener!!
​
WHY – Virtually anyone fortunate enough to have bought one of our next generation inkle looms has remarked how much of a game changer it has been in their narrow band weaving experience. We can’t bear the idea that no more people will have that same game-changing experience.
WHEN – We’re still working out details. It’s our current intent to have the detailed step-by-step manuals ready to ship by early September (if we’re lucky, by end of August).
​
WHO – Someone who has a modicum of woodworking experience and with a typically equipped woodworking shop, or have access to a helpful friend so equipped.
​
INCLUDES – Our very own detailed production plans (loaded with Pro Tips) to make either a Skagit model replica or a Pro model replica.
PRO BUILDER KIT – There will even be an optional kit that will include full-sized templates and some of the components that are inconvenient to buy or make.
STAY IN TOUCH – If the idea of you building your own authorized Kairos inkle loom replica tickles your fancy, then email us at Richard@KairosInkleLooms.com so we can send you our ‘grand opening’ announcement.
