WHAT IS A TABLE LOOM?
Table looms are a compact alternative to larger multi-shaft floor looms. Their small size and portability makes them perfect for guild meetings, workshops, and sampling. Unlike rigid heddle looms, table looms can have up to 16 shafts, which means you can try out more complex patterns.
WHAT CAN I MAKE ON A TABLE LOOM?
The possibilities are endless! Scarves, home textiles, and table linens are probably the most common projects made on table looms, but with the magic of double-width weaving you can make larger projects like shawls and blankets too. Explore our selection of 4-shaft weaving patterns here.
WHICH TABLE LOOM SHOULD I BUY?
Your loom purchase depends on a variety of factors—how wide and complex you’d like to weave, your available space, budget, and personal preferences such as portability, weight and rising or sinking shed. We are pleased to carry table looms from Ashford, Schacht, and Louet. All are highly respected companies known for making quality products, and we are happy to answer questions about their offerings to help you make the best decision for your weaving interests and budget.
