Among the simplest of looms, the tapestry loom holds a continuous warp under tension, allowing the weaver to see all of the warp at once. Sheds are formed using heddle bars and string heddles or Texsolv heddles. While only two heddle bars are needed for traditional tapestry weaving, we provide four heddle bars so that beginning weavers can also experiment with 4-shaft pattern weaving.

Our 25″ tapestry loom has a tension beam with thumb screws to keep the warp tension even throughout your weaving. The continuous warping system allows a 60″ long warp to be put directly on the loom without using any other warping tools.
