Enjoy convenient weaving with our 4 and 8 shaft table looms
If you don't have a lot of floor space in your house or want the flexibility to take your project with you, a table loom is a wonderful choice. These designs are generally smaller and more portable than floor-based varieties. The term refers to a multi-shaft design and is considered more complex than a rigid heddle. Most tabletop looms offer 4 or 8 shaft options, however higher numbers of shafts are available on some options as well. This makes for a great option for weavers on the hunt for a floor loom.
The shafts are generally controlled by hand leavers designed to be operated on a table or specifically designed floor stand. Some of the tabletop varieties offer treadle kits to provide more flexibility in your weaving style. They are also available in a range of widths, the narrower widths are designed with accessories such as travel bags for easy transport.
We stock options fromĀ Ashford and Louet, and order designs on request from Leclerc.
The ideal choice for a versatile, portable loom
These designs are made to be used in a wide variety of settings and surfaces. They can be easily carried, and even folded down in many cases; this is an ideal option for small spaces, weekend getaways, and workshops.
Our collection hosts a range of options that fit this category and cater to a wider variety of weaving styles. From Ashfordās well-loved options to those by Louet, affordable products like this are available to you across Australia.
With one of theseĀ weaving looms in your collection, you can easily enjoy versatility when weaving. In many cases, these can be set up on a floor stand, should you wish to change the position in which youāre working. We have a number of stands that work with these frames and provide extra flexibility when weaving. Each stand works for the standard 4 shaft models, as well as larger designs. Enjoy table loom weaving with different kinds of weaving yarnĀ too.
We recommend opting for size-specific models, in this case, so be sure to check and find your fit. Weāre always happy to help you with this and any other questions you may have - just reach out to our customer care team, and weāll be there.
