Weaving Looms & Tools

Hand Weaving

Frame Looms are the rigid structures that hold a weaving together while it is being made. Once the weaving is complete, it is removed from the loom, allowing you to use the loom again. Frame looms come in all different sizes, shapes and styles but generally speaking, the size of the frame determines how large a woven piece you can make.

Every weaver needs a set of tools!
