About me
I am, what I would call, a hobbyist weaver. I have been doing it for years but, still consider myself to be an amateur. I'll probably always consider myself an amateur as I've found, there's always something new to learn. Someone comes up with a brainwave or a different way of doing things.
I first took up weaving just for something to do at night watching tele. My hands get bored if they sit still for too long. I haven't, by any means, used all of the looms that I've talked about on this site. I have used the frame, square, flower, scarf and, some shape looms.
Overall, I consider looming to be a fun activity. It is more than that though. What you have in the end can be original and unique. You can also have a product that is great for presents, charitable causes and, even selling. Weaving does have some repetition in it but, with the advantage that I find it faster than other similar crafts (such as sewing, knitting etc.), you get the rewards quicker.
This is an affiliate site. In this regard, I can personally offer no guarantee or warranty regarding the products that are sold. That is handled by Amazon.com (as the organisation this site is affiliated with). When you click on a link from this site and make a purchase though, I get a little cut which helps to continue this site and add more information, stories, plans, suggestions and anything else I can think of.
Overall, I hope people enjoy this site. I will try to add new material whenever I can.
All the best in your weaving.

About this site
This site covers information and other things about weaving and looms. Predominantly, this site is focusing on small looms or lap looms. I am in the understanding that there are a number of people who prefer the bigger looms. I have found though, in a family home with the rush of today but bigger looms (including table looms) are just a bit too bulky. For many people, they need something that they can take out when they want to use it and put it away afterwards. A lot of people don't have room for the bigger looms.
I have also found that it is possible to create a masterpiece on a lap loom. They are versatile, easily stored and, relatively cheap. Especially if you are interested in this activity but never tried it, a lap loom, I think, is the answer.
Considering the small loom, I have included a how to section that shows how a number of the looms work. I have also included links where such looms can be purchased. I hope you enjoy the information contained herein.
