The Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Sections let you build the heddle setup your yarn and project need. These modular vari-dent sections fit the Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Frame and are designed for the Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Loom, giving you the flexibility to create a full heddle in one density or combine multiple densities within the same frame.
Each pack includes 5 rigid heddle sections and covers 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) of weaving width. Choose the density you need, then use the sections to configure your existing heddle or build an additional heddle with a separate frame.
What These Sections Are For
These loose Lojan heddle sections give you more flexibility than a fixed-density reed. Use one density across the full weaving width, or combine different densities in the same frame to create a vari-dent setup for yarns that need different spacing within one warp.
You can also use additional sections with a separate Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Frame to assemble a second rigid heddle.
Available Densities
Choose from six Lojan segment densities:
- 10/10 (2.5 DPI)
- 20/10 (5 DPI)
- 30/10 (7.5 DPI)
- 40/10 (10 DPI)
- 50/10 (12.5 DPI)
- 60/10 (15 DPI)
The Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Loom comes standard with 30/10 sections, so the additional densities let you reconfigure the heddle for finer, more open, or mixed-sett weaving.
Build a Custom Vari-Dent Heddle
The modular Lojan system lets you combine different segment densities within one rigid heddle frame. This gives you more control over warp spacing when working with different yarn sizes or when you want intentional changes in sett across the width of a project.
You can also remove sections and use only the width you need for narrower projects, samples, or bands.
How Many Packs Do You Need?
Each pack includes 5 sections and covers 10 cm (approximately 4 inches) of weaving width.
- 12" Lojan Flex frame: 3 packs for a full-width heddle
- 20" Lojan Flex frame: 5 packs for a full-width heddle
- 70 cm Lojan rigid heddle loom: 7 packs for a full-width heddle
You can use fewer packs when building a narrower heddle configuration.
Compatibility

They are not intended as universal replacement sections for other rigid heddle systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these sections include the heddle frame?
No. This listing includes the rigid heddle sections only. The Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Frame is sold separately.
Can I mix different densities in the same heddle?
Yes. The Lojan system is designed so different segment densities can be combined within one frame to create a vari-dent heddle.
How many packs do I need for a full heddle?
You will need 3 packs for a 12" frame, 5 packs for a 20" frame, or 7 packs for a 70 cm heddle.
Which density comes standard with the Lojan Flex loom?
The Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Loom comes standard with 30/10 sections, equivalent to approximately 7.5 DPI.
Can I use these to make a second heddle?
Yes. Pair the sections with an additional Lojan Flex Rigid Heddle Frame to build a second heddle in the density or combination of densities you need.
Choose one density for a consistent sett or combine several to build a heddle around the yarns and structure you want to weave.
