TAPESTRY LOOMS

Also called frame looms, these are extremely easy to warp and weave: no need for a warping board, just stretch the warp yarn from top to bottom back and forth across the loom. This means of course that your weaving is limited not just by the width of the loom (which is the case with any loom, small or large) but also by the length (or height) of the loom. These frame looms are ideal to make a tapestry to hang on the wall.

(Nice to have: tapestry beater(s), tapestry bobbins)

New! BEAD/TAPESTRY LOOM: this loom has a 7.5" weaving width and 2 pairs of interchangeable stretcher bars (6" and 17" - 17" bars are not pictured at right) allowing you to weave projects such as bead bracelets, medallions, hairpins, etc. as well as longer tapestries, purses, cases, etc. The sturdy loom, made of strong PVC pipe, does not include instructions; we recommend you purchase the book "Copper Loom - Beadwork & Tapestry"; the authors are the loom manufacturers. They will be conducting classes at The Woolery in the coming months so contact us if interested. Examples of woven projects on looms (resting on optional stands) are pictured below (note that the 17" bars are used on left and 6" are used on right).
