The Loom
The frame loom is designed, cut and made by TabbyandTweed in the UK using FSC and PEFC certified birch plywood, cut using solar-powered equipment. FSC and PEFC certification means the wood comes from responsibly managed forests- a guarantee of sustainable sourcing that many cheaper looms do not carry. The loom arrives fully assembled and ready to warp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this kit suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes. This kit is designed specifically for beginners. The instructions guide you through everything from warping the loom to finishing your project. No previous weaving experience is needed.
What can I make with a large frame loom?
With a frame loom of this size you can weave coasters, placemats, bookmarks, and small wall hangings. The 28cm x 30cm weaving area gives you enough space for a proper project without being overwhelming for a first-time weaver.
What is the difference between a frame loom and a rigid heddle loom?
A frame loom is a simple rectangular frame with evenly spaced nails or pegs. You thread the warp around the pegs and weave the weft by hand or with a stick. It is the most accessible loom for a complete beginner and is well suited to wall hangings, tapestry-style work, and small homeware projects. A rigid heddle loom is a more structured loom that uses a heddle to separate warp threads, allowing for faster weaving and longer projects like scarves. If you are unsure which is right for you, TabbyandTweed have a loom selector guide on their website.
Is the loom made in the UK?
Yes. The loom is designed, cut and assembled by TabbyandTweed in Salisbury, Wiltshire, using FSC and PEFC certified birch plywood.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. TabbyandTweed ship to the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
Is this a good gift for a crafty person?
Yes. This kit makes a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in yarn crafts, textiles, or making things by hand. It is particularly well suited to people who already knit or crochet and want to try a new craft, or to anyone who has expressed an interest in weaving. The kit is self-contained and everything needed to get started is included.
