This versatile loom is ideal for weaving ribbons, belts, bookmarks, bands, and more.

What materials are used in the loom's construction?
The Glimåkra Band Loom is crafted from high-quality hardwood, ensuring excellent durability and stability during weaving. The smooth wooden frame reduces friction on warp threads and provides a traditional Scandinavian aesthetic that complements any weaving studio.
Is the loom suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Glimåkra Band Loom is ideal for beginners, thanks to its straightforward design and ease of use. It allows new weavers to learn basic band weaving techniques while still offering enough functionality for advanced projects. The loom’s compact size makes it a great entry-level option.
Can the loom be used for inkle or card weaving?
The Glimåkra Band Loom is highly versatile and can be used for band weaving and card weaving. This adaptability allows weavers to explore different techniques, including patterned bands and decorative trims, making it an excellent tool for various fiber arts projects. Note that the term inkle typically refers to bands and trims made on an inkle loom, so while this loom can produce the same/similar results, it is not an inkle loom.
How portable is the loom?
The loom is lightweight and is relatively portable. With its height standing at 114.5cm (45"), a footprint of 41cm (16") x 91.5cm (36"), and weight of only 7.7kgs (17 lbs), its compact size allows for easy transport to workshops, weaving groups, or demonstrations. It can be stored efficiently when not in use.
What is the maximum weaving width?
The Glimåkra Band Loom allows for a maximum weaving width of 5 inches (13 cm). This width is perfect for weaving ribbons, belts, decorative bands, bag straps, key fobs, and other narrow woven items. It provides enough flexibility for detailed and colorful band designs.
Does the loom require assembly?
Yes, some assembly is required upon purchase. The loom comes with detailed step-by-step instructions, making it easy to set up.
How does the two-treadle system benefit weaving?
The two-treadle system simplifies the weaving process by allowing the weaver to open the shed with the press of a treadle, allowing the weaver to pass the weft thread through quickly. This feature frees both hands for beating and shuttle handling, leading to faster and more efficient weaving, especially for repetitive band patterns.
Is the loom suitable for children?
Yes, the Glimåkra Band Loom is a great option for children who are interested in weaving. Its simple operation, compact size, and engaging process make it an excellent tool for introducing young weavers to textile arts while developing their fine motor skills and creativity.
What types of projects can be made on this loom?
Weavers can create a variety of decorative and functional items, including ribbons, belts, keychains, bag straps, table runners, bookmarks, and trim for clothing or home décor. Its design allows for intricate woven bands, making it perfect for historical and folk-style weaving.
How does this loom compare to other band looms?
The Glimåkra Band Loom stands out due to its sturdy wooden construction, two-treadle system, and ability to accommodate multiple weaving techniques. Compared to other band looms, it is often preferred for its durability, efficiency, and versatility, making it a top choice among traditional and contemporary weavers.
