Small Looms

Rigid Heddle, Frame, Inkle,Tapestry & Table Looms

The Small Loom section covers Rigid Heddle, Table, Inkle,Tapestry and Frame Looms. These looms tend to be smaller, lighter weight and more portable than floor looms. The shafts or heddles of Rigid Heddle and Table looms are manuevered by your hand whereas on a floor loom they would be operated by your feet. If you are new to weaving and shopping for your first loom, you might want to check out our page on "How to choose a Loom" http://www.steamvalleyfiber.com/pluspages/looms1.htm

Under each loom listing is a weblink for that specific loom. Please feel free to email me with questions about the looms and accessories. if I can be of help, please ask. Contact Phylleri Ball at Steam Valley Fiber Farm,
