Leclerc Gobelin Tapestry Loom (Standard)
Looking for a loom that gives you better tension and more control over your tapestry weaving? The Leclerc Gobelin Tapestry Loom (Standard) is a simple yet powerful vertical loom designed specifically for warp-faced tapestry techniques.
The Gobelin method, originating from Paris, allows you to stretch your warp tightly between two beams, perfect for achieving the precision and detail your work deserves. Additionally, the upright arrangement of the warp threads enables the weaver to closely inspect their work or step back for a broader view.
This standard model is ideal for finger manipulation or use with string heddles, allowing you to exert complete control over your design process. With heavy-duty tension screws on each side of the bottom beam, you can apply high, consistent tension to suit even your most intricate patterns. Built for reliability and ease of use, the Leclerc Gobelin Tapestry Loom is a trusted companion for weavers who want to focus less on setup and more on creative expression.
