Weaving looms and tools for beginners and skilled weavers

Looms and accessories for weaving

Weaving is one of the oldest textile techniques, and with a frame loom you can easily do it at home. You can use it to make wall hangings, small bags, coasters and other textile projects. Here you'll find looms in various sizes and styles, starter sets (including sets for kids) and accessories like shuttles, combs and weaving needles.

Which loom suits you?

A simple wooden frame loom is a good place to start: the warp threads are stretched between the top and bottom edges, the weft is passed through with a weaving needle or shuttle and beaten down with the comb. The size of the frame determines the maximum size of your piece. Small frames are good for coasters and first attempts, larger ones for wall hangings. You can combine wool, cotton or yarn scraps, and a firm yarn with little stretch works well for the warp. For kids' sets, follow the manufacturer's information for each product.

Tip: Tension the warp threads evenly and not too loosely. Lay the weft in a shallow arc instead of pulling it tight, so the edges of your weaving don't draw in.
