Tapestry Loom - School Loom - Mini Loom Weaving Kit - Inkle Loom

Tapestry Loom

Tapestry weaving is considered by many to be the most personal of all weaving. Among the simplest of looms, the tapestry loom holds a continuous warp under tension, allowing the weaver to see all of the warp at once. Sheds are formed using heddle bars and string heddles. While only two heddle bars are needed for traditional tapestry weaving, we provide four heddle bars so that beginning weavers can also experiment with 4-shaft pattern weaving.

To keep the warp tension even throughout your weaving, the tapestry loom has a tension beam with thumbscrews on the end which allow for easy adjustment. Available in 18" and 25" weaving widths, this continuous warping system allows a 60" long warp to be put directly on the loom without using any other warping tools.

A-Frame Stand

Designed for use with the portable tapestry looms, the A-Frame Stand inexpensively answers the question of how to hold the loom upright on the table top or the floor while weaving. The adjustable side arms let you vary the angle, and may be folded up for storage.

School Loom

What's most important in a loom for young weavers is that it ensures success. This simple frame loom was designed to do just that. It has a 15" weaving width, a built-in stand for upright use on the floor or a table top, plus durable, 6 per inch, plastic warp spacers for uniform warping. Students of all ages will find it easy to use. Included with each loom are two pick-up sticks, a weaving needle, and simple warping and weaving instructions. The School Loom is made of hard maple and left unfinished.

Mini Loom Weaving Kit

This handy weaving kit includes everything you need to weave. The Mini Loom is made of durable plastic and is easy to thread. Two shuttles, a beater and a weaving needle are included in the kit along with enough yarn to weave a project. Complete instructions with clear line drawings provide all the necessary information for setting up the loom and weaving. Instructions are provided for two projects.

Includes: mini loom, 2 shuttles, weaving needles, beater, 5 colors of yarn, and complete instructions.

Inkle Loom

Inkle looms are great for start-up weaving programs because they require little additional equipment, are easy to use and understand, and are easily stored. The Schacht Inkle loom is built with years of heavy use in mind. It has one open side for ease of warping. The tension bar has an easy grip handle for adjusting the warp tension during weaving.

The belt shuttle has one beveled edge which is great for both holding yarn and for beating the weft.
