We are proud of our little loom – it weaves “real cloth”. To achieve this, however, compromises have been made. It is physically impossible to include all the features and roominess of a floor loom on what is essentially a miniature loom. We have tested it with warps from 8/2 Donegal wool to 35/1 linen – from 8 epi to 50 epi – including a handspun warp of mixed fibers – dark brown alpaca and champagne silk/camel.
