Buying a Loom

Have you been toying with the idea of buying a loom? Well then, this week’s episode of A Handwoven Experience is for you!

I have 3 questions to keep in the front of your mind when looking at looms. What do you want to make? How much space do you have? And what is your budget?

Those 3 variables will help you narrow down your selection to a frame, inkle, rigid heddle, table, or floor loom. There’s an entire world of looms out there. This video will help it feel a little bit smaller.

Show Notes –
