I received two looms this year as gifts. The “big” loom on the left (all things are relative) is my newest. My other loom has allowed me to make tablet woven bands comfortably, without tying myself down for hours into a backstrap loom, which is what tablet weaving is really for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically, both my looms are “little looms”, but in my collection, I have a small and a big loom…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, there’s also a toy loom… You know, like a toy breed of a loom…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, actually, it really is a toy loom, it was given to me when I was seven or eight to play at making cloth… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But compared to some “adult” frame looms, it’s quite sturdy and well made. And it will work beautifully as a simple tapestry loom. It was definitely fun to rediscover it (and especially to realize it was still there) and to use random remnants on a couple of samplers.
