Small looms I love-Band looms -3

by Noreen on January 21st, 2008

Another wonderful little band loom that is a modern, beautifully made, inexpensive version of an ancient loom is Harrisville Looms Backstrap Loom

the shuttle in the photo is one that my son in law made for me. A very nice little wooden one comes with the loom.

The loom comes with an excellent instruction booklet.

It’s wonderfully portable and lightweight. It fits in a small bag or large pocket.

The one thing that is a little tricky for people to get used to is that the tension on the loom is supplied by the weaver’s body.

Also…. It can be a touch frustrating to get yourself all set up to weave, and then realize that the phone is across the room….. and ringing. Sigh.

Other than that, it’s definitely ‘thumbs up’ for this lovely little loom!
