About LoomCraft
LoomCraft is a small, US-based specialist shop built around one category: frame looms and tapestry weaving kits that are simple enough for a first project and sturdy enough to keep using after it.
One category, done properly: weaving looms in three frame sizes, with or without a starter set of wool. Every loom we carry gets assembled and tested in-house before it goes on the site, and every claim on this site is checked against what we measured, not what marketing copy says.
Why a frame loom, and why us
Weaving has a real barrier to entry: rigid heddle looms and floor looms are capable machines, but they're expensive and have a learning curve of their own before you weave a single row. A frame loom — sometimes called a tapestry loom or lap loom — skips that mechanism entirely. You warp it by hand, you pack the weft with a hand-held comb, and you're weaving within the hour instead of researching heddles and dents. That's the gap LoomCraft fills: not a toy, not a professional floor loom, but a real wooden loom sized for someone trying tapestry weaving for the first time, or a returning weaver who wants something simple for small projects.
We priced our three sizes — Small, Medium and Large — between the bare-bones basic looms sold by long-established US brands and the artisan-built, premium-priced frame looms sold by boutique weaving studios. You're not paying boutique prices, but you're also getting more than the cheapest option on the market: a choice of three sizes, twelve colors of wool included with every one, and a team that actually tested the thing before listing it.
Curated by Dana Whitfield
LoomCraft's product lineup is curated by Dana Whitfield, our Textile Craft Curator. Dana's approach is simple: every loom size gets assembled by hand and tested on a real tapestry project — not just unboxed for photos — before it's approved for the site. That includes timing the assembly, checking how evenly the warp threads hold tension across the frame, and watching how the wooden pegs hold up after a project or two of repeated warping and unwarping. Dana rejects more looms than she approves; a well-made sample doesn't guarantee a well-made production run, so the testing has to happen on the actual unit a customer would receive. You can read the full method on our how we test page.
